[COFF] Esix SVR4

[Arthur Krewat]

There was a Consensys SVR4.2 as well, which I have a copy of. It 
involved a pile of 3.5" disks, and hopefully an Adaptec 1520 ISA SCSI 
adapter. Or a WD compatible MFM/RLL controller.

I had it running on VirtualBox once, but no network.

Back in the day, I ran Consensys SVR4.2 for a three-line UUNET node.

This reminds me, I have the base install floppies, but not the entire 
suite. Time to get on that.
