	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.		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 [[Network File System\|NFS]] code from [[SunOS]], and a few bits of SunOS to flesh it out. A few people from the University of Wisconsin went on to work for [[Sun Microsystems]], 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.
