That it runs in an emulator on Windows XP is a nice touch.

  Looks like that Windows XP also runs on an emulator!

  Bochs emulator, I've not seen that for a long tine... http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ http://bochs.sourceforge.net/

    I use bochs on a regular basis... what is weird about it?

      Nothing, just doesn't get mentioned much these days.

Because it would be fun to have, I am fairly tempted to print off the source code [0] into a nice book to sit on my shelf. In a lot of ways, I miss the old giant manuals that actually explain why things work the way they do instead of everything being a black box... But I don't really miss distributing source code in book form to manually re-type by hand.

  Memories. I used to wallpaper my teenage bedroom with listings of programs written in 8086 assembly printed with the Epson FX-80.

  Lions' Commentary on UNIX is available in print, and has excellent explanations (though it covers v6 UNIX, not v1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions%27_Commentary_on_UNIX_6th_Edition,_with_Source_Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions%27_Commentary_on_UNIX_6t...
