"People interested in the history of Unix and Unix-like operating systems
(such as Linux and the BSDs) have the chance to experience a piece of
computing history. An archive tape containing an early version of Unix was
discovered and transferred to the Computing History Museum. The tape
containing Unix v4 was recovered and is now available through Archive.org
<https://archive.org/details/utah_unix_v4_raw>. Some people have managed to
run <http://squoze.net/UNIX/v4/README> the early version of Unix in an
emulator, giving people a chance to have a taste of early Unix history."
