Hi Josh, I don't know if this will help you, but a guy in Sweden made a PDP-8/I out of a Raspberry Pi which he calls a PiDP-8/I with a custom made authentic looking slightly smaller version of the PDP-8/I front panel. The following url describes the OS-8 he used on simh running on a version of linux on the PI. < http://obsolescence.wix.com/obsolescence#!pidp-software--documentation/c1btd > Maybe the OS-8 information on that site might help you. I don't think I have ever heard of MultOS-8, but I'd like to be kept in the loop on your project and learn more about it. I haven't bought my Pi 3 yet, but I'm planning on getting it soon to finish my PiDP-8/I Kit and get it operational. I pray you can find everything you need and get logged into your MultOS-8 installation. Take care my friend.
