I used Coherent for a while and only moved to Slackware went it folded in 1995. Started with the 286 version and went to the 386 version when it came out. It was very nice and had some unique items. The 386 version was also able to run coff binaries from SCO.
The docs that came with Coherent was very good, as good as what comes with OpenBSD. I remember in comp.os.coherent, starting around 93/94, Linux people started trolling the group.
You can get images from here, it is able to run in a VM:
