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.
