@rl_dane Why would you count #Unix #SVR4-derived #OpenIndiana as a #BSD?

With a lot of help from the author of #Amiberry, I was able to boot Amiga UNIX v2.1 patch 2a!

Did you know that you could install #Commodore's official #UNIX #SVR4 on your real or emulated #Amiga?
I'd like to give it a shot. The main obstacle will be obtaining the boot floppies and the installation tape. Yes, Amix was distributed on a QIC-150 tape 😎
This is where I'd turn to one of several Amiga pirate boards in the '90s, but even those are long gone 😢

Before moving to greener (and higher-paying 🤑) pastures, one of my two big "technical assistant" projects for #Comcast #Cellular was upgrading the engineers' Sun #Unix workstations from the #BSD-based #SunOS 4 to #SVR4-based SunOS 5 (#Solaris 2), and from #NIS / #YellowPages to NIS+.
In hindsight, it was a bad idea to make both changes at once, but I was a kid entranced by novelty and not yet very considerate of my users during the inevitable downtimes. (3/6)

Happy day! I've found and scored an old #VT220 (compatible) serial terminal for my #SVR4 #retrocomputing project.
We're about to move offices and a bunch of cool stuff just appeared in a "dispose of this" pile. There's an old Sun machine in there too that I might have to save from the crusher. :awesome:

New toy day! My little SBC is here that I plan to turn into a classic 90s Unix system running System V.
Don't go hitting refresh for updates on that project, it's something I imagine I'll be stabbing at opportunistically for quite some time to come. There's a LOT missing from what I have to work with.
I might blog soon about why SVR4 is so interesting to me though.

I'm very excited because I finally found an #x86 SBC board that's reasonably priced and looks like it's perfectly specced for my weird #retrocomputing adventure where I try to build a #SVR4 system and see what I can get done with it.
