Author Sun Interactive UNIX v4.0 -- searching for TCP/IP Advanced Floppy

Hi all,

Many moons ago (1993), Sun produced a version of UNIX called Interactive
UNIX. I am looking for the advanced TCP/IP disk that comes with telnet,
rsh, ftp etc ... The floppy I have is corrupt, but the streams, basic
networking, and network drivers floppies all installed ok. Unfortunately, I
can't do much with UUCP

If anyone has this floppy and would be willing to email me an image I would
very much appreciate it. Believe it or not, this stuff is still used to run
manufacturing equipment here in the USA. In a way, this is like a UNIX
history lesson for me. I am getting to play with the original AT&T System
V, which is pretty cool. Today I built a new kernel and added the wd0
ethernet card driver and it even worked. It is amazingly similar to SCO
Openserver, but I have no idea what an S51K filesystem is.

Thanks,

-Mike

S51K is "shorthand: for a SysV 1Kb filesystem i.e. 1K blocks instead of
512-byte blocks.
