Actually there was *another* port of v7 to the 8/32. It was an internal
Bell Labs port which may or may not have been derived from 32V. I recall
hearing about it back when I was a sysadmin adt Monmouht College and our
main (only) Unix box was an 8/32.
It's mentioned in some of the literature as proof of the early
portability
of Unix. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find out much detail
about the port.

Actually the Interdata 8/32 and 7/32 ran Edition VII (a Version 7 port
from Wollongong, and later the 3200 series had Xelos (a Perkin-Elmer
port of SVR0 -- swapping not paging). On another note, what platform does the V32 UNIX
run on? Somehow it sounds
like it might run on a VAX to me.
UNIX 32V was a port of V7 to the VAX done at Bell Labs.
I believe it was also ported to a few other 32-bit minis,
like the Interdata 32.
