I've gotten interested enough in the history of Unix at U of T to
attempt a compilation of early events. It helps that I was around
for much of it, although annoyingly I don't remember the dates all
that well. In case people either are interested or can contribute
some useful information, here's a rough start:
late 1974 CSRG 11/45 running V5 (anyone know the exact dates?)
early 1975? 45 upgrades to V6
Jan 1977 45 survives (running throughout!) Sandford Fleming fire
summer 1978 Zoology 11/34 running V6 (exact date uncertain)
Sept 1978 UTCS 11/70 running PWB
late 1978 CSRG 11/50 running V6
early 1979 Dentistry 11/60 running V6 (PWB??)
early 1980 CSRG 50 upgrades to V7 (45 still running V6)
spring 1981 Zoology (now a 44) joins Usenet, first U of T site on it
...
summer 1984 CSRG 11/45 retired, still running V6 (!)
Details, dates, and additions to the chronology are welcome.
