I've recently received (via a grant) the Intel 432 cross development
system (which allows for Ada source code to be developed on a VAX and
run on the 432 execution vehicle).  One of the major limitations of
the system is the lack of a multi-user capability on the system.  

Since I received the grant jointly with Stevens Institute of Technology,
it will (eventually) revert to them and at that level, a multi-user OS
is really needed.  To this end, I am currently implementing a UNIX-like
operating system on the 432. This OS will be written in Ada (except,
possibly the device drivers).

Rumor has it that UCal, Santa Barbara (I believe) has done work along
these lines, I would appreciate hearing any responses from individuals
who have worked on the 432.
