I am game for that so long as it includes 16bit versions of BSD , on pdp11 virtual machines . 

Also the story ml told about the pdp11 is somewhat misleading . Iirc the nuclear plants automation software runs on RTS/E or RSX11 . Both are hard deadline real time operating systems which look more like vms and winnt then unix .
