There is a cassette on the floor.

1. #NetBSD on a nice toaster (aka ASUS eeePC 701)
2. I actually tried to run Linux (see, even more mainstream than #FreeBSD) on a RISC-V netbook, but it has croaked and is stuck in an boot and shutdown cycle.
3. SvarDOS or OS/2 Warp 3 on Pocket 386.
4. Oh, MSDOS 3.22 (from ROM) on HP 95LX.
