F. Beebe @ 2016-11-11 14:42 UTC (permalink / raw) I just found a project that has ported Unix V7 to a modern system, and a search of my TUHS archives finds no previous mention of it: V7/x86 - x86 port of UNIX V7 http://www.nordier.com/v7x86/index.html V7/x86 on VirtualBox http://www.nordier.com/articles/v7x86_vbox.html The jwhois command identifies the host site as (possibly) located in Durban, South Africa. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.

Unfortunately, I found it to be rather unstable when connecting to the virtual machine's serial port: after some I/O, the emulated system would crash and typically leave the virtual disk messed up. I reported this bug in late 2013 and it was kindly acknowledged, but I see no version number change on the website, so I don't think it has been fixed. The developer did warn me at the time that the project wasn't really being maintained. Too bad, because porting V7 to x86 must have been no small feat.
