[TUHS] VAX System V

[Kevin Bowling via TUHS]

I got a manual set for Digital VAX System V 3.2.1.  It appears to be a
descendent of AT&T's VAX port, but it was thoroughly extended with
large system hardware support (including CI bus) and even sundries
like X11R4.  Compared to i.e. 3B2 System V which IMHO is pretty bare
bones and even a little half baked.  The manuals are actually pretty
great.

I'm not overly familiar with DEC but perusing history it seemed to be
that Ultrix was always playing second fiddle to VMS.  VAX System V
seems like a "more serious" UNIX, it targets the large machines:  VAX
11/780, 6000, 8000, 9000.  Only in the 3.2.1 release did a MVII pop
in.

I don't think I've ever seen anything on this in the wild, the main
customer appeared to be AT&T itself and the RBOCs.  Information online
is scare.
