Hi Emanuel,
I believe I may have the install disks for ESIX, SVR4. It actually was distributed in this beautiful box with over 100 5.25” floppy disks.
As things progressed, ESIX was distributed on a streaming tape cartridge. That was so much faster than swapping floppy disks for the install.
The nice thing about the ESIX SVR4 was the documentation. It was essentially the AT&T SVR4 books with a white ESIX cover slapped on it.
If you want to copy the disks and make them accessible to our UNIX community, let me know. Since it’s part of my collection I would ask that you return them to me. Send me an email directly if you’re interested and I will see if I can locate them for you.

There was a Consensys SVR4.2 as well, which I have a copy of. It
involved a pile of 3.5" disks, and hopefully an Adaptec 1520 ISA SCSI
adapter. Or a WD compatible MFM/RLL controller.
I had it running on VirtualBox once, but no network.
Back in the day, I ran Consensys SVR4.2 for a three-line UUNET node.

This reminds me, I have the base install floppies, but not the entire
suite. Time to get on that.

Hi,
anybody still has the install media for that?
We used it in the office long ago, but I lost the install disk in my
last moving :(
THANKS!
