I guess one could use a real operating system that's been designed for learning purposes: Minix by Andy Tanenbaum, described in the book "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" (Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-637406-9 hardback, 0-13-637331-3 paperback); Minix source code for either MS-DOS PC/512K, MS-DOS AT/640K or the Ateri ST available separately also from P-H. Not quite pd but cheap and well-supported and in use at over 10000 sites throughout the world (or so they claim)...
