Any number of folks probably have this but what the heck, I had it out...

The Nat Semi Series 32000 databook from 1986 lists the following for the
ICM-3216 eval board:

        ICM-3216 uses System V/Series 32000, a validated version
        of AT&T's Unix System V. System V/Series 32000 is a powerful,
        multi-tasking, multi-user operating system [...]

I hadn't known specifically of a 4.2BSD port, but once I consulted Google
I found an early NetBSD tech-kernel posting that mentions a port done at
the University of Toronto. No idea how to lay hands on it, but if we could
just get the changes it'd be a huge boost in getting e.g. NetBSD running
on it. Just thinking that the 4.2BSD code would still be encumbered, etc.

Come to think of it, I should see if there's anything on the UCB CSRG
archive CDs I got from Kirk McKusick...
