Not really; its just the x86 UNIX that Sun peddled before 
they had Solaris x86.

Basically INTERACTIVE (owned by Kodak?) did a vanilla port of
SVR4 to i386.  Sun bought INTERACTIVE, and sold "Sun INTERACTIVE
UNIX" for a few years while they were getting Solaris x86 ready.

I had a copy years and years ago, but sold it (at a tidy profit)
to a guy who needed the installation media to keep a legacy system
going..
