There are also several public access Multics systems up and running.

I've had it running in an emulator for a while, but not natively sadly.

It would be fun to have an FPGA implementation of the hardware, and/or a port of the system to modern (or relatively modern) processors that are generally available (perhaps some x86 processors that support segmentation.)

An FPGA implementation is underway.

The X86 segmentation facility resembles Multics segments in name only.
