Ulix OS -- The Literate Operating System edit / delete
As it says. Reading the papers suggests that it's a very incomplete implementation of Unix, unfortunately.

What became Minix 3, but this site's interesting because it has an archive of the installation media for all the previous releases. I'd like to get Minix 2 running on my AT at some point; it's probably the most useful of the Unix-likes that can run on a 286 owing to decent networking support.

Unicorn Unix Magic Tricks - Thorsten Ball edit / delete
"How would one build something like this? I had no idea." The author then goes on to explore in detail how to build a process farm; a nice overview of the techniques.
Collected advice on Unix CLI Design & Implementation (Alan Coopersmith's Weblog) edit / delete
A Solaris-specific view on Unix tool design. (Not always followed in the past -- I have not-very-fond memories of a Sun disk array where the admin command was "rm6".)

Tilde.Club: I had a couple drinks and woke up with 1,000 nerds — The Message — Medium edit / delete
"This computer ran a Unix-based operating system. It was located somewhere in Virginia. I went to bed. When I woke up 100 people were asking for accounts." An author discovers the social aspects of Unix systems; there are actually lots of shared machines like this around, quietly keeping groups of people happy. (bookmarks.offog.org is running on one...)

Mark Williams Company sources edit / delete
Coherent is now free software. The source tree is a bit of a mess -- but it has version control information back to 1990 for much of the code, so it'd be eminently suitable for a reconstruction project at some point. (However, I don't think there'd be much point in trying to resurrect the utilities for modern use; they're full of arbitrary limits...)
