Keep in mind that there are different flavors of GCOS, with probably
the main thing in common being the letters "GCOS". Interesting link
above, it lists GCOS-64 as being inspired by Multics, and was a
32-bit OS. GCOS-6 is totally different and for the 16-bit systems.

What I'd *really* like is to get my hands on the DPS-6 emulator that
runs on at least HP-UX 8 (HP 9000-750). Just over ten years I helped
move setup from DPS-6's to such 4 HP 9000-750's running the emulator
for most things.
I'd be even more interested in a DPS-8 emulator with a copy of
GCOS-8, as I used to work as a Systems Analyst on 4 CPU DPS-8
installation.
