  I am very interested in learning more about Apollos extendable operating
  system concepts centred around "types".

  Is anyone aware of any documentation (Apollo or otherwise) which explains
  this stuff?

There was an excellent paper presented at the summer 1986 Usenix in Atlanta,
titled "An Extensible I/O System."  It was reprinted in the Apollo
publication, "Domain/OS Design Principles," order number 014962-A00.  The
Design Principles book is a good reference for anyone who wants to know more
about how their Apollo works inside, and why it's better in some ways than
other systems on the market.

You can probably order copies of this book from Apollo Computer, Technical
Publications, P.O. Box 451, Chelmsford, Mass 01824 USA or from your local HP
sales office.  (That's the address given in the book but it may be different
now in the HP era).
