There is Medos-2, which originally had been implemented for the Lilith
computer and later been ported to the Ceres workstation. Since this was
the OS that had been implemented in the same institute as Lilith and Modula-2
it was the OS that came with the Lilith workstation. Everything, including
device drivers, had been implemented in Modula-2.

Another example is Kronos, a multiuser operating system implemented for a
machine similar to the Lilith by an institute at the Novosibirsk branch of the
Sowjet Academy of Sciences.
