How about TSX-32? Commercial, alas, but there's a free demo version.
IIRC it's not too happy inside most VMs, though.

Derived or inspired by a PDP-11 OS, TSX, which I think shares some
ancestry with RSTS or something. I'm afraid PDPs were a bit before my
time - I cut my FORTRAN teeth on a VAX 11/780.

Peace... ?Sridhar
It would be nice to see just about any OS that wasn't basically POSIX, or
DOS/Windows running native on a PC.

It's damnably slow, but at least it works.
?Yep. ?The scary thing is...an OS like RSX-11 or RSTS/E is quite zippy on
a machine like that.
