It appears that the pdp-8 was never part of real early real Unix, the
started on the pdp-7 and then moved to the 11..

No, the PDP-8 Unix is one of the modern ones. Only the
early Unix rode T-Rexes.
So, does anyone have a record for oldest or weakest computer
running Unix?
The Z80 definitely did it. Maybe the 8080 could. I don't
think the PDP-8
could. I've been trying to figure out if the PDP-8 could
handle C, and
the answers I get range from "I don't know" to "Definitely not".
Something I'd really like to see is a Z-machine running on the PDP-8.
