Interactive was SYSVr3/4 (depending on the version ;-) based PC unix.
Earlier versions used the old SYSV file system format but I think that
later they actually used the FFS - default file system block size was
512 bytes but you could, optionally, have larger sizes.  If you are
really really stuck I think that I do have some old Interactive boot
disks.
