			The 7/2 and its 'big sister', the [[Interdata 8/32]], were the one of the first non-[[Digital Equipment Corporation\|DEC]] machines to run [[UNIX]]. Amazingly, the ports to the 7/32 and 8/32 were done roughly simultaneously, by two separate organizations.

			According to Richard Miller, "The First Unix Port", the first port began in 1976, at Wollongong, on an Interdata 7/32, 192k-core/2x5Mb disk drives.

			In April 28, 1977, [[UNIX Sixth Edition\|Unix Version 6]] was booting. When Bell Labs was contacted:

			<blockquote>In fact there was a surprise on both sides: a team at Bell Labs was in the midst of doing their own port of UNIX to an Interdata 8/32 (a slightly more powerful 32-bit mini-computer). They had begun work at the beginning of 1977 in anticipation of the delivery of their machine in April and had a kernel working by June less than two months after the Wollongong kernel first ran on the bare 7/32.</blockquote>

			The Interdata 7/32 and 8/32 were the first 32-bit machines to both run Unix Version 6.
