It seems that many people already have early versions of
the Mac II with A/UX.
A/UX is System V with "Berkeley extensions".
Since "Berkeley extensions" is subject to many different
interpretations, I would be interested to hear some details:

Does A/UX have
(1) Job control ?
(2) Symbolic links ?
(3) vi ?
(4) File names longer than 14 characters ?
(5) BSD system calls (e.g. wait3, setreuid, getpriority) ?
(6) Virtual memory ?
(7) A tty driver that keeps track of "window size" ?
    (e.g. in 4.3BSD you can set #rows with "stty rows 40").

Have universities been able to get source ?
