   I always liked VMS - well ahead of its time.
   HOPING some basement-dwelling guru will create
   a Pi-runnable version with some more "modern"
   features added.

   Hey, there's a Plan-9 for Pi ... there could be
   a VMS as well !

   BUT - where did you get the OS images ? They USED
   to be available but the current owners pulled them
   off the net years ago.
