SYSIII was the first commercial release of UNIX by AT&T. The 32bit version was based on 32v while the 16bit version was based on Seventh Edition Unix.
I don't think this version saw widespread adoptation, compared to the BSD's.
Besides Xenix, was there any other adoptions of SYSIII??
How do I get this to run?!
Right now, you don't. SYSIII is still copyrited. At one point SCO sold legacy licenses for $100 USD, and I did purchase one, but this is not free, nor abandonware.
SIMH cannot run the boot tape fully, and my attempts at hacking together a minimal system are fraught with filesystem corruption.
What Runs?
Right now I can't seem to get more then 4 or 5 programs onto a disk before it corrupts.
