I actually skipped that one for UniPlus SysIII and SysV on the Perkin-Elmer 7350 box with a dip packaged 68000... I ran Coherent until I got the hardware to go 386-BSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux 0.99.xx (SLS and later Slackware). Before the UniPlus I ran Xenix-86 on an AT&T 6300 with a Nec V30 (not a 6300+ 286 box). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like Bill
