DROPS is still available here:

It was one, cool-ass demo. I especially liked firing up VM's lightening-fast given I was reading people say they use containers since VM's are too slow and inefficient. Maybe the people building their favorite VM's just aren't good at efficiency. Build on L4/L4Linux instead. ;)

The Secure Enclave runs a customized version of L4Ka::Pistachio, apparently. Different codebase (Pistachio is C++, for example), same origin.

Pretty darned awesome.
Fiasco is GREAT. You at least used to be able to run it with DROPS which had a cool desktop/demo disk where you could just launch a bunch of Debian Linux instances as L4 tasks. It was like VMWare on crack at the time when I tried it.
I think FiascoUX might still exist... you can run Fiasco as a userspace process on linux then run linux in ... oh I've gone cross-eyed..
