Last month, there was some discussion about getting Sun to release the
sources to old SunOS 4.1 under the Ancient UNIX source licence.  I'm
curious as to what progress has been made on that.  I'm
enthusiastically looking forward to hopefully being able to run
SunOS-4.1.3 with full source on an old Sun 3/80.

Have you tried the Sun 3 port of NetBSD?

Oh, NetBSD is a very nice Berkeley UNIX, to sure...  I'm just looking
forward to being able to play around with good olde-fashioned SunOS.
Call it nostalgia, or something like that.  :)

These efforts aren't dead. :) They just took vacation with me, for the
last week and a half or so.  I'll try to report some news sometime during
the following week or two, though with the mess of work that popped
up in my absence, I'm not sure whether I'd be that optimistic. :/
