Solaris and Unixware were SVR4 based.

The last System V Unix standard was SVR4, after which Unix switched
to the POSIX standards body.

SVR5 was a marketing name SCO used to merge their Openserver and
Unixware products together - it's not a Unix standard. It was a
(failed) marketing ploy to try and make the unix world think that
Unixware was relevant, which it never was.

There was a lot of it in System X exchange peripheries as I specified
the Unix systems and design a lot of the software and stuff.
Each exchange had clusters of bit slice processors and each cluster had
a SBC based either on an Intel

Nit-pick: UNIX standards switched to X/Open (The Open Group), not to
IEEE. ("The POSIX standards body" is IEEE - they own the POSIX
trademark).

Of course since 2001 there has been a single joint standard for POSIX.1
and the base volumes of the Single UNIX Specification, which is
maintained by IEEE, The Open Group, and ISO, so it's not an important
distinction any more. I just felt compelled to nit-pick on the
historical inaccuracy :-)
