While waiting for my system to reload, I decided to look through my papers and 
dug up the following paper that you might find interesting: 

Computer Architectures for Artificial Intelligence Processing
Kai Hwang, Joydeep Ghosh, and Raymod Chowkwanyun
IEEE Computer, January 1987

That issue was a special issue on AI, if I remember right.

The paper lists:

Spur
Symbolics 3600 series
LMI Lambda
ALPHA
Xerox 1100 series
Tektronix 4400 series (*)
TI Explorer

(*) Was this really a true lispm?  I remember Tek offering us a machine, but
it was  a Smalltalk machine, and I don't remember any talk of Lisp
for it. 

If you're interested in more detail, you can also look at

The Architecture of Lisp Machines
Andrew R. Pleszkun & Matthew J. Thazhuthaveetil
IEEE Computer, March 1987

or 

Symbolics Architecture
David Moon
IEEE Computer, Jan 87

All three of those papers have fairly substantial bibliographies, if 
you're interested in delving further into the arcana..
