Solaris-2.0 was SVR4 compatible but did already have significant differences in e.g. the filesystemcode. This is a result from the fact that Solaris-2.0 is a child of SunOS-4.1.x while SVr4 was build on top of SunOS-4.0. Solaris-2.1 did introduce loadable drivers and at the same time, the a decelopment started to make the kernel multi-threaded and preemptable. This all happened _before_ 1994.
