> So, does anyone have a record for oldest or
weakest computer running Unix?
The oldest/weakest I've personally run UNIX on
was an 11/24 w/dual
RL02 (10MB each) and 2MB of RAM. It's far from a record. If I can
find an affordable EAE for my PDP-11/20 and figure out how to sub the
swap disk with something other than an unobtanium fixed-head disk, I'd
run it there, but that's a long-term project.

UNIX?
Really? Or just something with a Bourne-like command line? I don't know the details, but the ones I'm
thinking of are Morrow's
Micronix and Cromemco's Cromix. Al Kossow knows more about it.
There were numerous "Unix-like" OS's available.
Xenix, even when sold by MICROS~1 (for 5160), seemed to actually BE Unix,
less the trademark.
