Multics thread a bit off topic... can someone re-title it to Multi Processor (maybe i missed three or 4 other threads too).

The Multics source code release will let people enjoy such fun stories 
as the Latin error message that came out occasionally when booting the 
system

http://www.multicians.org/hodie-natus-est.html

I believe there are quite a number of source modules with Latin comments 
as well.

I know that a lot of people have concerns about an emulator being 
possible due to the number of processors that have to be emulated, but 
one only has to look as far as the Mame emulator to see that is not so 
big a deal.  The real problem will be finding the information to figure 
out what each component really has to do, since Multics was a study in 
how to get things working even if it was not working so well.

Not exactly the approach that can be used for IBM hardware used where 
one just has to have access to the POO and you can get an emulator 
pretty much going.
