- It, and clones, may well be a FANTASTIC windowing environment for doing DOS multitasking using multiple instances of dosbox..
- proolix - an 8086+ POSIX-compliant OS.
- Plan9 -- Very long history, it works but is probably way over my head.
- coyotos -- based on eros -- really not anywhere useful yet.
- http://www.linuks.mine.nu/gnustep/ -- A pseudo-OS made for programmers by programmers. Therefore, it's horifically ugly. Touted as being really cool.. but.. it's.. ugly. Come on people. Well, it's a complete Objective-C IDE.. supposedly. =/
- http://www.sics.se/~adam/contiki/ports/ -- Contiki has an x86 port (in German)
- QNX - can't find much of a reference to the amiga though - their operating system
