Subject: [TUHS] PDP-7 and Interdata 8/32 Bell System UNIX Installations?
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 01:44:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <NGe8dHFqm03y7SYUyQFB1oVj90DS7_FcssAfE3MNoZ2T7P5xPr1DTxTVEnIlE_1QcOI9_9HGlM8-IaH9i94kgu-RiC8cozv-Etw1V-w8BYE=@protonmail.com> (raw)
Are there any documented or remembered instances PDP-7 or Interdata 8/32 UNIX being installed on any such machines for use in the Bell System aside from their original hosts? Along similar lines, was the mention of PDP-7 UNIX also supporting the PDP-9 based solely on consistencies in the architecture or did this early version of UNIX actually get bootstrapped on a real PDP-9 at some point?
My understanding of the pre-3B-and-VAX landscape of UNIX in the Bell System is predominantly PDP-11 systems, but there was also work in the late 70s regarding 8086 hosts as evidenced in some BSTJ and other publications, and there is the System/370 work (Holmdel?) which I don't know enough about to say whether it technically starts before or after UNIX touches the VAX.
Thanks for any info!
