This is a quote from /usr/include/sgtty.h on V7

#define	TANDEM	01
#define	CBREAK	02
#define	LCASE	04
#define	ECHO	010
#define	CRMOD	020
#define	RAW	040

... and we did not write our own!
On the other hand, the manual page TTY(4) says:
7th Edition           revised 5/79
Conclusion: CBREAK is part of late V7 systems.
