My memory is a little fuzzy, but Morrow Designs [R.I.P.] had a
banked Z80 box running a *v6* UNIX that I think was called `Micronix'.
It must have been 1981-83, and they used v6 because they could
make it fit in the limited memory.  I've no clue on performance
or anything like that.

Morrow was a God in the Z80 world but he stayed in it too long when
the IBM PC came out :-(.
