Doubt NCR has the data, though you never know. The machine was
built by Olivetti five or so years before AT&T bought NCR, and I
think they'd cut loose from Olivetti long before, considering that
their PCs were built by Intel from 1991 or so.

Doubt it. Though I know that ksh was available on SysV/386, I
know of no updates to the 6300+. Well, it was available from the
Usenet and I think some AT&T hosts unofficially, just as it was for
the 7300/3B1 series. (None of the former hosts that used to
semi-officially support the 6300 or 7300 Unix platforms exists any
longer. I know hosts maintaining 7300/3B1 archives, I am unaware
of any for the 6300+ -- a query on comp.sys.att might produce
something, maybe even one on comp.sys.3b1 [though that's not very
active anymore, and there used to be a large contingent of folks
who hated the existence of Intel PCs even when they used their
DOS/73 cards]).
