One as many here probably know is I have a sick desire to check out the RT-11 version of DECnet. The other lesser known thing is an OS that is missing from your list. A rather interesting sounding OS known as PULSE from the Department of Computer Science at the University of York in England. It was developed between 1979 and 1984, and is described in the following book that was published in '85. "PULSE: An Ada-Based Distributed Operating System" Sadly based on the assistance of a list member in talking two a couple of the original developers back in 2003, I think it's safe to assume a copy will never turn up.
