Go to www.google.com and type capability based system/38

Here are a few sites to get you started:

http://www.cs.unc.edu/~dewan/242/f96/notes/prot/node14.html
http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cidcontext/210319
http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/opsys/spring97/notes/15.html
www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/osdi96/full_papers/hibler/hibler.txt
http://vip.hpnc.com/~cbbrowne/osnovel.html
        (near the bottom)

And the System/38 gets a reasonable mention in the following book:
Henry M. Levy, Capability Based Computer Systems, Digital Press, 1984

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
