You can download a bootable disk image of Version 7 UNIX that will run
in it. This is the first UNIX version I ever used, so I'm very tempted
to give it a spin for old time's sake. I don't think I'll fork out the
money for the PiDP-11 front panel, though. I was using Version 7 on
Motorola 68000 hardware :-)
