Any place where you could get a disk images to try to spin this up in a VM?

  You can just run make. It doesn't need a cross compiler or anything weird on x86.

    It doesn't compile on Windows though, which is a bummer: some of the files have names like COM, which are reserved.

      Both my undergrad and grad OS courses used xv6 and I can tell you that the easiest way to get hacking on it is to spin up a VM (I used vagrant for this since I just wanted headless) and run it in QEMU. MIT has a patched version available that has some handy debug features. Feel free to contact me through keybase and I can provide you all the scripts I used.

        Thank you! In the end, the source is so easy to read that I didn't actually need to build it all that much, but if I ever do, I'll get in touch :)

      Compile it in a linux / bsd VM, too.

      WSL does the trick on Windows.
