Unix System V, Release 3 was released in 1987. The final version was Release 3.2 in 1988.

SVR3 included:

  • STREAMS
  • Transport Layer Interface (TLI) network API (TCP/IP, sockets, NFS and BSD network tools were added by dictributors)
  • Remote File System (RFS)
  • File System Switch (FSS) virtual file system mechanism
  • 2K file system (optionally)
  • Static shared libraries, early implementation with mkshlib and COFF
  • ID (Installable Drivers) subsystem (actually, kernel re-linking from the set of object files)
  • XENIX compatibility on i386 (and early iBCS compatibility)

Sys V R3 on AT&T 3B2

The AT&T 3B2 computer was a "porting base" for the Release 3. Thanks to Seth J. Morabito an AT&T 3B2/400 Simulator is now a part of SIMH. It can run "real" AT&T UNIX System V Release 3 on the simulator. Source code is also avaialable (but may be a subject to copyright).

It includes full SGS for WE-32000 CPU.

There was also a Wollongong WIN3B TCP/IP software (not AT&T's TCP/IP implementation) for Nicom Interlan 3B2 Ethernet card.

See more at The AT&T 3B2 Computer archive.

Wyse

Wyse System V boot

Wyse was a manufacturer of the terminals and multiport serial hardware. Also Wyse was a player on the Unix market. In 2011 an incomplete 5" diskette set was found. Later someone found a more complete distributive on a QIC cassete. In 2015 a challenge to run it in emulator was organized. Finally Wyse Unix was virtualized in 2015.

Like Microport version it has an issues with emulated VGA and i386.

Also it includes TCP/IP, BSD networking utilities and man pages set.

Sys V R3 on RS/6000

There was an IBM AIX Version 3 (also known as AIX/6000), based on System V Release 3, for their POWER-based RS/6000 platform.

Sys V R3 on MIPS

MIPS RISC/os was a System V Release 3 for MIPS architecture with BSD extensions.
