The early Unix most definitely could run without separate 
I/D spaces, in fact I think it could run without memory 
management. That might have required it to stay in 
single-user mode.  I'm PRETTY sure I ran a Bell Labs Unix on 
an 11 BEFORE we got our 11/45, and those did not have memory 
management.  (11/05 and CalData).  Our tests with that Unix 
did not look promising, so we just did some testing and then 
went to RSX-11M.
