The sources took a second one. UNIX V6 on a PDP-11/40, 2xRK05 disk, 1975, but it was before the 11/34 came out, so I think I have you beat by a few weeks, at least. That said, my project moved away from Unix to DEC's RSX11-D and later IAS, so I had little contact with Unix until about 1980 on a VAX11/750 at the UC-Davis Dept. of Applied Science running BSD 4.1(?). -- R.
