Sure is.... At least Ultrix 4.1 and all the subsets, including UWS. Just
loaded it on a 5000 last weekend. Much nicer than TK50's. There are a
couple of patches on tape, one for tape support (kind of ironic....) and
one for PHIGS.

The only problem I noticed was in trying to set up DMS (diskless
services) from CD--the program expects a tape drive to be present.
