RR and the ISC products were different. RR was done in Billerica, MA and
ran a variant of SunOS [FWIW: some of the RR guys came to Stellar work on
the HW team].
ISC did the 386 port for Intel/ATT/IBM much earlier than that. Later, as
was pointed out, Sun ended up with the IP when they bought it from Kodak.

Sun had a '386 based system in early 90s-ish called the Road Runner.
I never saw it. It ran SunOS 4.x and I think was discontinued by the
time Solaris 2.x came along.
And, I *do* remember ESIX. We used it for our product at a startup
company I worked for. Initially System V R3 based, IIRC, and then
eventually SVR4; I think we saw an improvement moving to the
BSD fast file system.

Did Sun have anything to do with that? I seem to
recall something
called "Interactive Unix" for the 386, possibly marketed by Sun...
"Interactive Unix" was pretty nice back than.
Anybody remembers ESIX? Still have the document wall for that ...
