Subject: 4.2 or SYS5 on 32K co-processor board

It's opinion time....
Stated quite simply:
If you could purchase a 32016 or 32032 based co-processor board with
which to run UNIX on your PC, would you rather have System V or
BSD4.2???
This board is not vaporware! It is currently being sold be a
California company name OPUS (no relation to the penguin), can be
clocked from 6-10MHz, 2-4Mbyte of RAM, MMU, FPU (standard), and runs
SVR2 with demand paged virtual memory.
Myself and others (not necessarily Texas Instruments) have been very
impressed with this product but we'd like to convince OPUS to do a
BSD4.2 port. OPUS obviously needs some justification before doing
this.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd take a minute of your time to
send me a short >>E-MAIL<< message indicating a 4.2 or SVR2
preference.
Thanks a bunch. In case there is any real interest I can post a
summary.
