I am also looking for some Unix (tm) source code.  I looked around, read
magazines, read comp.os.minix etc. and today in Dr. Dobbs Journal, read
about a port of BSD 4.3 (tahoe) to the 386.  This is supposed to be free
from AT&T code, thus if you pass the Berkeley Licence conditions, you can
get the entire source code, including Kernel code.  You must keep the
Berekeley notices intact.  The article in question is in Dr. Dobbs, Jan '91.
Also, Prentice-Hall sells Andrew S. Tanenbaum's Minix V 1.5.10 for $169.  
This includes complete source code and gcc has been hacked to run on it. 
It is supposed to be comletely V7 compatible.  It is also "free" and updates
are regularly posted on comp.os.minix.
    The 386BSD unix seems to be a good idea.  Anyone in the know, please
update with more specific details, and if any mistakes have been made, please
correct.  

cheers
