The very first “Unix at home” system for me was an Onyx 8002 “pedestal” which was connected to three serial terminals: dad, uncle, me :) It was definitely 1980 as it was delivered at home the day of my (unforgettable) 7th birthday. Previously I had only “played” with dad’s TTY into the University systems. Ended up being taught C instead of riding a bicycle… 

We still have the manuals somewhere but the machine was gone when the Avioon came in. No idea where it ended, sadly.
