Or are they all under IP lock and key? If so, what's the closest system that is available to get a feel for that variety of OS? You can find pointers to System Vr4.2 on i386 here https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/ancient/ as well as System III, but nothing in between. http://squoze.net/UNIX/sysV_pdp11/Installation has system Vr1 on a pdp-11 installation instructions. This is, as far as I know, the only version of System V that ran on the pdp-11. The porting target was changed to the VAX in system Vr2 (though there were VAX versions of both System Vr1 and System III, the latter on squoze.net <http://squoze.net>). https://archive.org/details/ATTUNIXSystemVRelease4Version2 has the sources to the different System V releases and claims to have a cpio of the System Vr2 sources that could create a bootable system. On vetusware.com <http://vetusware.com>, you can search for SYSVr2 and find 2 entries. I've not looked at them. One claims to be the source, and the other claims to be a dump of /usr with sources and binaries (but no "/" nor bootable tapes it would appear). The entries for these indicate there's animport of BSD code, but no TCP/IP. Finally, there's this page on installing System Vr3 on a 3b2 from scratch. https://loomcom.com/3b2/installing_unix.html looks good to my eye. It's an installation from floppies. But no bootable tapes that my googling could find. Warner
