The '''4.3 BSD+NFS Wisconsin Unix''' release of [[4.3 BSD]] dates to around Jan 20 1987. It never seems to have made mainstream use, and I can only find a single machine that ran it, [[Eedsp]]. This release is significant in that it incorporated the SunOS [[NFS]] code, and a few bits of [[SunOS]] to flesh it out. A few people from the University of Wisconsin went on to work for SUN so it's no surprise the amount of Sun source in this release. This release is only for [[VAX]]en and runs under SIMH's [[VAX-11/780]] emulator just fine.
