on for example SunOS2.5 that will not work on OpenSolaris?
Hmmm, lots of stuff comes to mind, mostly
relating to old hardware or middleware:
SunOS 4.x compatability (SunView...)
graphics hardware & related stuff (buttons & dials,
multi-plane-group framebuffers...)
NIS+
OpenWindows/Xview/Olit development support
RFS
XGL attributes
PEX
Dataless client support
Xview/Olit
COFF executable support
On the other hand, AutoCAD version R12 (from 1992,
Solaris 2.1/2.2 - AutoCAD abandoned support for all
Unix platforms after R13) ran fine on Solaris9,
which was the last time I tried to use it - for
all I know, it may still work on S10 :-)
