Can anyone provide me with some pointers to OS'es that have been written
in either Scheme or Lisp. I've tried Alta Vista and Lycos, and turned up
very little. I'm looking for any online docs describing the
implementation.

Most Lisp Machine papers deal with the hardware and the interface to
the Lisp runtime, not so much the OS.
Try the Online Symbolics Musemum (linked from
http:/www.lavielle.com/~joswig/lisp.html) and
http://www.eval-apply.com/LispOS/kmachine.htm, which is about the
never realized LMI K-machine.

Which is too bad, because the architechture was pretty
neat, particularly for the time in which it was invented.
The paper is well worth reading.

The LispOS project needs a little more publicity. I spent 4 hours
wading through
the garbage in the search engines trying to find usefull information on
it before
I finally found what I was looking for. For anybody who had as hard a
time as me,
here are the two most important links on the current LispOS project
(IMHO).
http://www.eval-apply.com/LispOS/
http://www.neosoft.com/~jordan/LispersAnonymous/
Its hard to help if you don't know that it exists!

Perhaps I'm adding noice, but there is an OS called STING by NEC Research
Institute. Email ·······@research.nj.nec.com.
STING isn't an Operating System written in Scheme or Lisp, but rather an
Operating System written _for_ Scheme or Lisp.

Never sold, but about 20 board sets were manufactured.

Back at school I used to work on a TI Lisp Machine, So you might try
Texas Instruments.

You might also try "Program Mobile Robots in Scheme" by Rees &
Donald (http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/brd/#scheme) may be of interest
also: the robot os is monitor + scheme48vm.

Maybe the following has some material about the various Lisp machine OSes as
well as their architectures?

I was going to suggest this book too. It has about 20 pages on the
hardware architectures of Greenblatt's original Lisp machine and
its descendants, the Symbolics 3600 architecture, and various other
architectures. However, there is nothing on operating systems in
the book.
