I've been playing with my clone PDP-8's OS-8

it is running in 32K (x 12 bits, but still...) of RAM,
has highly "regular" commands, has installable device
drivers, and has a large degree of device independence
it's really very amazing. I could say the same thing
about Flex for the 6800 and 09. Considering their
severely limited resources, pretty darned good.
And fast too!
