You could have DomainOS take a BSD or a SysV personality. Very interesting.
There was also some fileserver functionality that allows
//fileserver/some/path/somefile style access to everything we had hanging
off the tokenring network.
Rather neat.

We just recovered an HP APOLLO Series 400 in our computer museum,
and we got the installation tapes of DOMAIN/OS. It seem a very
particular flavour of BSD 5.3. We also made a dump of the
tapes, to preserve it. :D
My memory, which is fading, is that DOMAIN/OS was previously Aegis,
and was not actually a Unix at all, although it had (or later had,
perhaps) a lot of compatibility. It has all sorts of cool features.
