Lisp*(OS) was a project to revive the still unequalled systems that ran on Lisp Machines of the past (such as the still surviving _(Genera)) this time making it free and running on standard/cheap hardware, instead of proprietary and requiring non-standard/expensive hardware. But there were too many divergent opinions, and no team really built up. Notable issues of contentions were on which LISP to use (mostly _(CL) vs _(Scheme) vs some new _(LISP)), and what flavor to give to the OS (clone of old _(LISP) _(OS)es, kind of better-_(UNIX)-in-_(LISP), or a new orthogonally persistent system). Still, a lot of interesting information can be gathered from the (now closed, but archived) mailing-lists that were created, _("LispOS" | http://lists.tunes.org/mailman/listinfo/lispos) and _("LispVM" | http://lists.tunes.org/mailman/listinfo/lispwm).
