So, what's the story on why the London/Reiser port didn't get adapted
back by Research, and they ended up starting from 4.1 BSD?
Thanks,

How long was research running on a PDP-11 and
when did they move to a VAX?
London and Reiser had ported Unix to the VAX, replete with virtual memory, in 1978. By
the time v7 was released (1979), Vaxen had become the workhorse machines in Research.
