I recall a thread about this only a few months ago. Check out the TUHS mail archive - I seem to recall that someone had ported V7 to the x86 architecture.

Hi there. I am a linux-user and I came across TUHS for the first time today actually when I was searching google for old unices. I love linux and am very interested in the history of unix. For some time I have wanted to try out some early versions of unix as I am in my early 20's and was born too late to have been around those days :( I havn't found any people to ask about this till today :) Anyway, I browsed the filearchive and I guess the distributions there surely won't work on my computer. Is there a way to get them work on a i386 computer? Have someone made any ports of an early unix system to i386 out of nostalgia? If not, could someone take it on as a hobbyproject so that new generations of unix-like-OS-users can explore it? It would be both fun and also very educational to play around with I am sure. I hope this email gets through and that I didn't annoy you guys. I have not signed up for this list I just emailed tuhs(a)minnie.tuhs.org directly and hoped it would get through :) Please send replies to jesperjacobsson(a)yahoo.se Answers would be very appriciated! Thanks in advance, Jesper ===== _____________________________________________________ Gratis e-mail resten av livet på www.yahoo.se/mail Busenkelt! _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs
