Sorry, memory is starting to fail, or fall, or where am I?
Was that UNIX ??? I used to program those in printers & I was just a
dumb mainframe programmer doing assembler .......
I AM old enough not to trust myself ;-)
Probably not. While the PDP-7 was used to develop the first version of
Unix, DEC had their own OS etc. for it. A similar situation occurs on
the VAX, which, though often used for Unix, came with DEC's own VAX/VMS,
at least initially. Unix (or Unics as it was then called) quickly moved
from the barely adequate PDP-7 to other hardware. The main reason the
PDP-7 was used, was simply because it was available.
