Contents
Platforms
These are the known platforms to run Unix v7
PDP-11
the PDP-11 was the primary platform which Unix v7 was written on. All other v7's can trace themselves back to this version.
Interdata 8/32
The Interdata 8/32 was the first port to a 32 bit platform outside of Bell Labs.
Sun 1
The Sun 1 workstations ran a port of Unix v7 that was done by UniSoft. This was prior to Bill Joy joining SUN bringing 4.2 BSD with him.
IBM PC
The IBM PC port was done by Microsoft however they resold it to various other OEM's under the name Xenix. Eventually SCO bought the rights & the Microsoft division responsable for Xenix, along with a deal giving Microsoft a portion of all SCO sales.
Digital VAX
The VAX port was to the VAX-11/780 platform in the form of 32v. This port was the 'official' port by AT&T to the platform.
Modern versions
v7 has been ported to the 386, information can be found http://www.nordier.com/v7x86/index.html.
