At the time, in the OS research community, Chorus was, indeed well-known.

 If Chorus at least doesn't vaguely ring a bell, you must have your head
up your ass as even a bachelor-level computer scientist.
 

I think that is putting it a bit strongly - it is a /long/ time since Chorus was relevant even in academic circles.  And while it was influential, I don't know that it was ever widely used (Scott will know more about that, I guess).
Maybe it would be discussed in some computer science degrees, if you go back long enough and had detailed enough courses in operating systems or perhaps computing history.  I don't remember that it never turned up in my courses, some 30-odd years ago, but I don't remember /all/ the details from all my courses!.  I knew about it mainly because I am interested in OS's, and history, and spend far too much time on Wikipedia and countless technical sites - not because it was on my syllabus at university.
