This came about after Sun and AT&T decided to standardise the Unix industry on SVR4. Having lots of cheap Atari, Amiga and other micros running SVR4 would have helped it dominate the industry. In theory, at least. This prompted DEC (Ultrix), HP (HP-UX), IBM (AIX) and other companies to band together to develop their own standard Unix, which was OSF/1 (Open Software Foundation, or as Scott McNealy said, "Oppose Sun Forever"). This kicked off another round of Unix Wars, which was no doubt much appreciated in Redmond, where Windows NT was being developed. The Atari SVR4 was ported by Unisoft and there's a video of it booting on a TT 030 workstation (which had a 68030). https://vimeo.com/100657320 https://vimeo.com/100657320 I was at the Atari Unix SVR4 (pre-)announcement at CeBIT in Germany, but it's so long ago I've forgotten the details.
