Ruud, I doubt very much that you'll find a "DOS written in ML". ML is a very high-level language. Most DOS implementations are written in Intel Assembly Language, a couple with C or parts in C (FreeDOS being a prime example with it primarily in C).

I googled for "ML for ms-dos" and found this link discussing exotic programming languages for DOS.

You may want to to find the book "FreeDOS Kernel".
