I dunno, but for sure there are plans existing.
The Linux distribution Knoppix, that is booting from CD-ROM, may have such a "sub-project" branch. But lots of them don't show results.
Knoppix won't be good anyway. It needs about 3 minutes to run. Linux is not a 217 kbyte operating system, and PCs are not what some might define as a "standard"...
If TOS shall be successful in this direction, you'd require a x86 version that can boot from CD-ROM in a few seconds, i.e. an almost completely new written OS with driver support for most hardware - forget it.
Maybe it's even impossible to set up PC hardware just in a few seconds.
An x86 version of TOS would have to keep to a narrow track of hardware, i.e. to ship the PC with its TOS.
