What with the $50 million in university mass orders for the Macintosh,
and the imminent introduction of non-Apple hard disks for it,
why wouldn't Berkeley do the 4.2 BSD port itself ?  
Then again, does Berkeley have the resources for much UNIX work these days ?

MIT ported the "portable C compiler" to the 68000, and did other 68000 software
(often as Master's Projects and the like); maybe they're a reasonable choice.

I don't know if either school is among the institutions
handing big bags of money to Apple for Macs.
