MULTICS Installation, Halifax - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
  It was thus said that the Great Douglas Quebbeman once
stated:

 However, Multics could be re-implemented on any architecture
 that either provides a paged, segmented virtual memory with 
 rings of protection, or, on any architecture fast enough that
 those features could be emulated.  
   Like the Intel 80386 or higher.

   -spc (Now I have to find info on Multics ... ) 
I should have mentioned that Multics also was closely tied
to a 36-bit word size... a re-implementation could probably
get around this, but a port would be difficult...

However, a port would work for an emulator, where you'd have
control of all aspects of the target architecture.
