Well good news, now I don't have to know.  Luckily I closed all three auctions that had parts of the VHS collection and nobody else bid, so was able to keep costs down.  Along with these tapes looks like I'm going to wind up with a bunch of red-covered SVR2 and SVR3 literature.  Not really hurting for those in my bookshelf so once I curate everything I might have a mess of mid 80s AT&T UNIX literature to resell/gift depending on who wants it.

More to come once the tapes are in.

P.S. Speaking of tapes, got a Kennedey tape transport for real cheap, appears to be read-write, gonna be boning up how to get it fixed up and interfaced with something reasonably modern, hopefully I can add some kind of magtape to my things I can backup soon!
