I'm running Venix/286 on my home system.  I've also got all of the driver 
sources to Venix.  VenturCom sells them for a reasonable $1,000.  I got a
Venix upgrade about 6 months ago (version 2.4), so I think they are probably
still supporting the product.  VenturCom is now a reseller of 386/ix with
their own real-time enhancements, so I imagine that's where much of their
effort goes these days.  I'm going to be calling VenturCom soon to find out
about getting the driver sources upgraded to 2.4; I could find out if
they would be interested in a uPort upgrade deal if there is sufficient
interest on the net.
