4.3 BSD+NFS Wisconsin Unix
This release dates 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 signifigant 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 ammount of Sun source in this release. This release is only for VAX's and runs under SIMH's 11/780 emulator just fine.
How do I get this to run?!
You can download the tape pieces from any TUHS archive spot from the following path /4BSD/Distributions/thirdparty/UWisc4.3/
