Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the reason why it's SunOS-compatible
is because it grew out of the 4.4BSD work that the LBL guys did, especially
w.r.t. their 4.4BSD-on-SPARC work?  I suspect if someone asked Chris Torek
or Van Jacobsen or Craig Leres they would confirm ...

All I know is that the SunOS compatibility made it *very* easy for me to
port the then-extant MBONE apps to NetBSD on the SPARC, modulo a couple of
problems with there not being a "/dev/audioctl" at the time ...
