Summary: SunOS on a vax?


>[Wanted one OS for all his systems]

I know for a fact that Sun builds and runs SunOS on Vaxen internally for
a number of reasons, mostly to remove machine dependencies.  I would
love to know if Sun ever has plans to release SunOS with all of
it's nice features such as NFS, SYSV support, New VM system, for
a Vax to the public.  I would guess that if one had SUNSRC or maybe
SUNINT source you could do the port yourself with little difficulty.
