He did this on a CADR, built, I think, by LMI. The CADR is the Lisp machine as it was designed at MIT and both the Symbolics and LMI machines are descended from it. There ought to be little difficulty in running a system developed on a CADR on either a 3600 or a Lambda. LMI does have an optional Unix processor for their machine, but I'd advise taking a good hard look at it before buying. The processor is the same as was in the Texas Instruments Nu Machine and was a horrible Unix system then. I don't know what LMI has done with it since they took over the Nu Machine technology from TI. Symbolics's compiler hackers are doing an Ada for their machine, so I think the C environment they were contenplating earlier has been back-burnered, but may be revived after the Ada is done.
