Venix 386 3.x
First unveiled in 1983 as Venix/86 for 8088/8086 CPUs, Venix is a compact lightweight multi-user multi-tasking operating system for IBM PC compatible computers. It was created by VenturCom and published through Unisource. Venix is notable for being the first available adaptation of UNIX for IBM PCs, beating IBM to the UNIX market. It was initially based off of UNIX Version 7.
Version 3.x is based on UNIX System V. There was also a real-time enhanced version based on System V.3.2.
Venix competed with other early PC UNIX ports such as PC/IX, Coherent, and uNETix.
