    I never thought I'd find the source code for Sun Solaris 2.6 X86: archive.org/download/aix-amiga-os-apple-ux-ultrix-dynix-ptx-irix-osf1-solaris-sunos-sysv-sysvr2-sysvr/Various.operating-system.source.code-aix-amiga-os-apple-ux-ultrix-dynix-ptx-irix-osf1-solaris-sunos-sysv.tar/Various%20operating-system%20source%20code%
    2FSolaris%202.6%20Source%20Code.tar.gz

    Solaris 2.6 is the last version that runs on micro channel machines. Unfortunately, the system crashes if more than 64 MB of RAM is
    installed. A workaround for this may be found in the source code, almost certainly in this directory: Solaris_2.6/os_net/src_ws/usr/src/psm/stand/boot/i386/common

    Solaris also runs on hardware for which there is currently no Linux
    driver, such as the Mylex DAC960 MCA and IBM Passplay and Cheetah. The
    source code can be found here: Solaris_2.6/ps/usr/src/uts/i86pc/io/dktp/hba/mlx/
    and here:
    Solaris_2.6/ps/usr/src/uts/i86pc/sys/dktp/mlx/

    My DIMM memoir is there was a Linux project for Mylex RAID controllers,
    AFTER the DAC960M... PCI controllers...

    Quite a lot of interesting driver code in there, thanks for sharing.

    UnixWare and OpenServer would be nice to see as well for similar reasons.
