For those who may be interested, MST sells System V Release 4.0.3 for the
386/486 for $399 including development system, $499 if you need networking.
X11R5 binaries may be obtained via FTP (networking is not required for X11R5).
I have just such a setup, and it works great. MST's version of UNIX doesn't
have too much in the way of bug fixes relative to the AT&T code, but the
only thing I've really had problems with was a couple of bugs in csh. Now
that I have tcsh working (built without so much as a warning!) I'll never go
back :-)
