NeXTs do not run 4.3BSD.

Suns do not run 4.3BSD (not even mine---when it runs my stuff, which
it does not, quite, this is *not* 4.3BSD but rather something between
4.3reno and 4.4).  Suns generally run SunOS (some run Sprite).

Nothing that is not a VAX is capable of running 4.3BSD.

The Tahoe series can run 4.3BSD-tahoe and 4.3BSD-reno.

Some HP 680x0 boxes can run 4.3BSD-reno and/or HP-BSD (which is not
4.3BSD, again).

4.3BSD-tahoe and 4.3BSD-reno are not 4.3BSD (they are close, but not
identical).

Incidentally, the same problem applies to System V, only more so, as
the name appearing on the documentation may claim `System V Release N'
yet the system may be (and often is) significantly different from the
same name `System V Release N' on some other architecture.  At least
4.3BSD-tahoe and 4.3BSD-reno are built from a single source tree, so
that any time programs differ in behaviour on different architectures,
save for deliberate architecture dependencies such as device drivers,
it is a bug, rather than a feature.
