DRI Concurrent exists for PC, and is pretty damned good.  I
think probably wave of the future.

About Octogon I know nothing.

Gifford MP/M is said to work; Jim Hudson is using it.  I am
using CP/M 8/16 because it is faster and I have Tony Pietsch's
new TMX Bios for it.  8/16 with Compupro hard disk is just plain
GREAT, if you're willing to put up with some of CP/M's quirks.
Alas, some of these are quirks I am not used to because Tony
used to trap them in the BIOS and you can't do that in 8/16.
However, Compupro has bouth the source to CP/M and is
contemplating doing a few nice things to the Command Processor
to make it a little friendlier; but that's a Real Soon Now
project, and I have no clues as to when it will be available, or
even that they won't shelve it for another project; 
       I expect to have Concurrent running on my big system
Real Soon Now.  It runs on the IBM PC fine.
