The back story here is approximately something like the PDP-7 being left
over from development of William Ninke's Graphic II display systen done
in cooperation with DEC. There was previously a Graphic I built around
a PDP-5. DEC later made the GT40 (aka Graphic-11) based on a PDP-11/10,
and the Graphic-15 for the PDP-15.
Are there any documented or remembered instances
PDP-7 or Interdata
8/32 UNIX being installed on any such machines for use in the Bell
System aside from their original hosts?
I've been told it ran on a couple of pdp-9s at bell labs with the
right disk controllers. The original one was a pdp-9 controller
retofitted to work in the pdp-7. There was only ever 1 pdp-7
installation back in the day.
