4.3BSD-Quasijarus of course! It's completely and totally free, and unlike
some competing OSes, it's also completely and totally Classic. You can
download the distribution tape images from
ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG and write
the actual tape yourself (if you have some other machine capable of writing
tapes, given all the stuff you have I'm sure you do :-), or if you want to
give some support to the project that develops and maintains the said OS,
you can order an official distribution tape from Harhan (probably still
much cheaper than any membership fee or license).
