   I also built one some time ago, along with the PiDP-8. They are beautiful   
   replicas and a joy to work with.   
      
   The OSes that come with it are pretty interesting, but the DEC and DEC-like   
   ones are quite... unique from a modern perspective. You can see the evolution   
   from OS8 to RT-11 to VMS to CP/M to MS-DOS, with the early ones being   
   primitive shades of what we have now.
