AT&T Unix?

Where can I get AT&T Unix so I can install it on my computer?

AT&T have been in the unix world for many years but I don't know of a current branded product called "AT&T unix". Please be specific about your hardware specification and the exact version of unix you are searching for:

As close to the original could be many things... at the time I doubt AT&T produced 64bit version...
I have an original... I think its of 1988... (on many 51/4 floppies ...) I remember it being a nightmare to install...
Maybe the first Novell Unixware would be the closest...

The first reasonably stable AT&T unix for Intel I enountered was unix System V release III running on 80386 (32-bit) Intel processors. This was by no means the first AT&T unix or the best choice of processor. I much preferred Berkeley unix at the time.
In theory a 64-bit processor should be able to run 32-bit and 16-bit programs.
What usually stops you running old operating systems on modern hardware is the driver support, BIOS support, and address limitations. Don't expect a medium-age unix O/S to know about USB, SATA discs, or anything bigger than 2Gb.

You could perhaps try loading a modern Solaris (which has roots in AT&T and Berkeley) and then research what commands and features were available in early AT&T unix.
The excellent mascheck site will give you an idea of how much variation there has been.

I've recently found AT&T's System V Release 4 available to download and for the last few weeks I'm playing with it on an old Celeron 433MHz (don't askSmilie) However I'm not sure about the legal issues and won't post links, so if you're still looking for something like that, PM me and we'll come up with somethingSmilie.
