This is really cool, to the extent that I'm surprised I've never heard of it. Are universities still using it in coursework?

It's also by far the best documented and most consistent hardware out there, especially when it comes to configurations. Yes, it's grotty -- but at least you can figure out where the gunk is.

How hard would it be to run it on RaspberryPi ? (let's say RaspberryPi 400, the one that is within keyboard case)
The OS is running in a customised RISV hardware in MIPS for educational purposes, you can read more here https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/1275462.1275470 The simulator https://github.com/halfer53/rexsimulator
The BIOS has already been written for the serial ports, etc. So it is quite easy for me to interact with the devices in the OS.
