Unix? Probably a complete brain fart by me - but I thought Unix
required a machine with separate I/D spaces and the 11/40 wasn't one
of them?
If I'm wrong that will be of some assistance to me actually :-)
The early Unix most definitely could run without separate
I/D spaces, in fact I think it could run without memory
management. That might have required it to stay in
single-user mode. I'm PRETTY sure I ran a Bell Labs Unix on
an 11 BEFORE we got our 11/45, and those did not have memory
management. (11/05 and CalData). Our tests with that Unix
did not look promising, so we just did some testing and then
went to RSX-11M.
