Tom,
Thanks.
AIX/370 existed and I *think* would boot on bare metal instead of running
on top of VM. I don't know what, if any, relationship it had to the
Locus work. (In the late '80s I worked at a university computing center
with VMS, Suns, and IBM gear; so I'm recalling what I heard. I never
actually saw AIX/370 running.)

That's what I thought. That clarifies the README for the TUHS archives
(Warren, ...).

Any chance on getting those? ISTR that it was SunOS 4.0 that was
ported. Larry -- any firsthand knowledge on that?
