Back in the 1980's, I took one of these chips and ran four copies of the same OS on it, using some virtual memory and driver magic. The full story can be found at http://jeff-barr.com/2008/01/08/inmsx-running-4-copies-of-an... .

Wow dude, you're amazing! How are you able to dig so far into (extremely technical, difficult!) uncharted territory without getting diverted one way or another - frustration, "too hard", give up, etc.? ESPECIALLY since you did it all without the galaxies of information and well-tred paths available today!

I'm always fascinated by old operating systems, especially ones which are different from Unix/Windows/etc.

Do binaries still exist? Documentation? Source code?
