   Sure,

   You can read the Project Oberon 1992's book, sections 3.3 and 3.4 as starting point.

   Then you can follow up with the 2003's edition.

   With a stop in the last pure Oberon iteration, Oberon System 3 Gadgets.

   Oberon Companion describes gadgets and tools

   The existing PDF book has a couple of rendering issues, but if you install BlueBottle, it has Oberon System 3 as demo application, with the original book in Oberon rich text format (not to mix with RTF).

   Which by the way, also describes the Tools on its manual, A2 User Guide and Application Description

   In case you're interested: I realized that I indeed already have System 3 binaries and source code in my collection; unfortunately the original links at ETH don't work anymore; but I have a physical copy of the book "The Oberon Companion" which includes a CD; I now have uploaded the CD contents to Github; here it is: https://github.com/OberonSystem3/TheOberonCompanionCD. Note that there is no Coroutines.Mod; I neither found one in the A2 sources.

   Note to Oberon, don't focus on version 1 alone.

   Oberon System 3 with its gadgets framework or the current AOS (still used as teaching tool at ETHZ) also have interesting ideas, and better support for systems programming.

   The book "The Oberon Companion. A Guide to Using and Programming Oberon System 3" is available as part of the System 3 environment delivered as part of AOS.
