The first port to another platform was a port of Version 6, made four years later (1977) at the University of Wollongong for the Interdata 7/32, [25] followed by a Bell Labs port of Version 7 to the Interdata 8/32 during 1977 and 1978. [26] Bell Labs produced several versions of Unix that are collectively referred to as Research Unix.
