Some more 68000-based UNIX systems:

1. Whitesmith's IDRIS, which is now available for the 68000.
2. Wicat claims to have UNIX V7 available for their 68000-based systems,
   along with their MCS operating system.
3. Charles River Data Systems is offering UNOS, a UNIX lookalike, on their
   Universe 68 system (as well as on the Motorola Exorcisor, as I recall).
   UNOS is based on eventcounts, an organization which makes a lot of things
   (like signals) work better.
4. Mark Williams Company, creator of Coherent (a UNIX clone), is planning to
   offer Coherent on the 68000 (it isn't ready yet).

A friend of mine decided to get IDRIS, because they would sell him the sources.
MIT and LUCASFILM probably would supply sources too, but there was some question
about the level of support he would get from them. By the way, who does one
contact at MIT or LUCASFILM to get UNIX from them?
