How about running V7 on an emulated PDP-11? That is fun, too. I'd
gladly run an emulated VAX on my BeBox, so as to give my MV2000 some
company. The virtual PDP-11 on the 2x66 MHz BeBox gives performance
similar to what I remember from the good old days. And I discovered
that V7 won't even boot if I install the full 4M of memory.
