    DG/UX for x86, CTOS, AOS, and RDOS are already included. I hadn't included the R1000 emulator because originally they emulated it at the logic gate level and it literally took a we…

    Yeah, I should probably add screenshots of earlier versions of those (or in the case of Domain/OS, screenshots of dm). Rather than just another name for Domain/OS, Domain/IX was ac…

    Sorry for the issues with downloads from earlier. The server I was trying to host it on had a failing disk. I now have torrents up, and the direct download links are to archive.org…

    I've now added some torrents to the download page (using archive.org as a web seed).

    Helios unfortunately isn't yet included. Last time I checked the Transputer emulator doesn't support the special Helios I/O server protocol, which is different from the one that th…

    Several older versions of VMS are included, with the latest being 7.3 for Alpha.

    Multiple versions and variants of OS-9 are included. There are images for NitrOS-9 on CoCo and Dragon, several ports of OS-9/6809, OS-9/68K 2.4 for X68000, and OS-9000/x86 6.1.

    PC/IX 1.0, AIX PS/2 1.3, and AIX/6000 4.3.3 are included; I just didn't post any screenshots of them.

    I wish I could do that, but there are a lot of emulators that don't have web versions, and the launcher and related scripts are very heavily dependent on a Unix-like OS and there i…

    I haven't yet included a full list, but I guess I could include one. All of those OSes you mentioned are included. BTRON isn't a single OS, but a small family of OSes based on a co…

    Yeah, they're very common. Some emulators like QEMU and MAME have many different versions included in order to deal with regressions.

    TOPS-20 4.1 and 7.1 are both included. I'm not aware of any fully working TENEX images unfortunately. There are partial images, but last time I checked they weren't in a state that…

    The vast majority were downloaded. A few I got when I exchanged compilation DVDs with someone in Finland in 2006 and 2009 (I uploaded the images on those to BetaArchive back then a…

    The last version of TempleOS is included, but I installed it myself, and I didn't bother to include most of the images that I just installed by myself in the credits. I'm also plan…

    Several different SIMH forks are included, along with a lot of other emulators; there are well over 150 different emulators, with some having multiple versions and variants present…

    NetWare 4.11 and 6.5 are included, but just don't have any screenshots on the site (the screenshots are not exhaustive at all and just a small sampling of what's there). And even t…

    That was Voyetra Audiostation, and I definitely remember having it on the Packard Bell 486 that was my family's first computer (which was already obsolete when we got it, since we …

    I've heard of custom shells for Windows before, but not that specific one

    I've got Pick PC R83 V3.1 included. The screenshots on the front page are a very small sampling of what's there.

    Yeah, I'd definitely like to see older versions of AEGIS as well

    Yeah, MAME has had working Apollo emulation since around 2010. Domain/OS is definitely pretty odd. You could almost mistake SR10 for a normal functional Unix if you use the SysV or…

    I don't think I've heard of an alternate shell/launcher like that before. Do you remember what it was called?

    At least for certain types of OSes, it should be relatively easy to get most of Linux's hardware support by porting LKL ( https://github.com/lkl/linux ) and adding appropriate hook…

    I'm a little bit skeptical as to how successful a hard fork of Linux that only differs from the mainline kernel by having a bit more Rust code actually would be. If you're going to…
