We have a very early serial # 11/34 under 10 IIRC
in the EE Dept at
CMU
(One of my claims to fame was bring UNIX up on it
for the first time
-
by hacking the 11/40 support - although I think
Noel and few others
did
it in other places too there after).

I believe that I was the first to port Unix (V6) to the 11/34 in
Australia; there should be a paper that I wrote, somewhere in the
archives. I was not aware of any prior work at the time, although
subsequently a couple of bods came out to say that they'd beaten me to
it
(then why didn't they publish?).
In the words of the inimitable Tom Lehrer: "I publish first!".
