Actually there was *another* port of v7 to the 8/32. It was an internal
Bell Labs port which may or may not have been derived from 32V. I recall
hearing about it back when I was a sysadmin adt Monmouht College and our
main (only) Unix box was an 8/32.

It's mentioned in some of the literature as proof of the early
portability
of Unix. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find out much detail
about the port.
