I enjoyed playing a game of Chess on the 'MissPiggy' PDP-11/70 running UNIX v7.

Running Unix 4.x on a PDP-11/70 would be akin to having a chance at spooling the first jet fighter, after getting your brevet.

I don't still remember things like boot sequences, but I do remember the assembly language -- which was very consistent and logical.

Good find, but don't you already have a unified puncher / reader / sorter + collater lying around ready for use?
