It seems entirely unlikely to me that there is any material chance of
successfully mounting that filesystem on Linux or *BSD.

That was a "true Unix" system, and replicating filesystem
implementations of "true Unix" is something that neither Linux nor
*BSD have done.  They have replicated functionality, but not the
AT&T-derived implementations.

I'd be mighty surprised for there to be an answer better than to
effectively use dd to pull data off the partition, and to then search
for chunks of useful information thereon.
