Good point Jerome, I'd missed that myself. I think it's really only the
PDP-8 and PDP-11 that have huge lists of OS's. Though just about every DEC
system seems to have several.

My DEC emulation website ( http://www.aracnet.com/~healyzh/decemu.html )
does mention quite a few of the OS's available for each DEC family,
however, that's one aspect of it that needs more work. Especially since I
don't have pages up for systems that don't have emulators.
