From what I understand, Unix relies on some support for memory protection, which did not exist on C64 and 8-bit is quite a constraint in other areas of the system architecture as well.
The only references I have found for such systems call them "Unix-like". I think this is fair enough and I would not call it a "Unix version".
Of course I agree that it is anyway quite an achievement.

(Did it support Ada? OK - I had to ask to keep the post on-topic. ;-) )
