For those who are interested and haven't heard, there is a 'toy'
operating system on the PC available for college students to poke
to death.  (In my senior level OS class we used 2.8 BSD on an 11/44,
but they discontinued the project where the machine was brought down
for a week so students could crash it.)

Brinch Hansen (of P and V fame) at one of those colleges in S. California 
(was it USC?) has a PC OS called "Edison", specifically designed to be 
used in a Computer Science OS class.  There was an article on it in the 
Communications of the ACM last year.  If anyone is excited about this,
reply to me and I'll get the issue and post the info (and I'm sure there
are others on the net who know more about this than I).
