Well, HP-UX 7 was just SYSV, with some additional Hewlett-Packard bumf 
sed'ed into it, recompiled for the Spectrum (later PA-RISC) 
architecture, I never saw it on anything else.  (This was when they were 
going from the HP3000 MPE 16-bit stack machines to the 32-bit Spectrum 
RISC machines, wot ran either UNIX or MPE if you swapped a CMOS chip. :-) )

If you're thinking of Apollo and their Domain/OS thingie, that's a 
completely different barrel of monkeys.
