UNIX V6 on a PDP-11/40, 2xRK05 disk, 1975, but it was before the 11/34
came out, so I think I have you beat by a few weeks, at least. 

That said, my project moved away from Unix to DEC's RSX11-D and later
IAS, so I had little contact with Unix until about 1980 on a VAX11/750
at the UC-Davis Dept. of Applied Science running BSD 4.1(?).
