STALL-Man! And The Masters Of The #GNU Project!
I am AMS, prince of Zeta and defender of the secrets of Lisp Machines.
This is CADR, my fearless friend
Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft an #Emacs manual and said:
"By the power of the GNU GPL!"

Made the KR frame system from the UIMS Garnet for two Common Lisp implementations work: LispWorks 8 and Portable Genera. I used this version: https://github.com/ury-marshak/kr

Typical problem porting code:: the initial value for structure slots is undefined in CL. The code assumes NIL.

Attached a screenshot of the KR examples in Portable Genera, a Virtual Lisp Machine on an Apple Mac mini with M4 Pro.

Calling all #HDL hackers! I need help in putting the #MIT #CADR onto a FPGA board. #VHDL, #Verilog, does not matter much. Who is up for a fun challange? #LispMachine

David A. Moon was one of the founders of Symbolics and one of the chief architects of its Lisp machines. In 1991, after he left Symbolics and joined Apple, he wrote this retrospective of Genera, "the world's first commercial object-oriented operating system": https://archive.org/details/genera-retrospective-1991

An early MIT CADR Lisp Machine was recently sold at an auction for $40,320 :

I have scanned and uploaded a manual for #Symbolics S-Dynamics, version 6 from 1985: https://archive.org/details/symbolics-s-dynamics-manual

"[It] is a software system that lets you describe and control the scheduling and synchronization of events in time [...] used in conjunction with S-Geometry and S-Render to script animated computer graphics."

Does the MIT Lisp Machine environment provide a document editor and a viewer, like Concordia and Document Examiner on Genera or TEdit and DInfo on Medley Interlisp? Does Zmacs support editing rich or formatted text?

Anyone know if the ice cream at toscanini is any good? #LispM #LispMachine hackers

I think I've managed to restore all the important systems for the CADR / Lisp Machine at this point. Everything from NEWDRAW (used for designing the Lambda), LM-Prolog, Zeta-C, Daedalus (used for designing the Scheme-81 chip), Macsyma and some other stuff ...

Now the bits are getting very thin, and very hard to find anything that used to run.

@jxself They had two MIT CADRs. RIP. #LispM #LispMachine

I have scanned and uploaded a manual for the Symbolics Color System that corresponds to Genera 7.0: https://archive.org/details/symbolics-color-system

"The Symbolics color system is a Lisp machine with the addition of one or more color boards, some cabling between your machine and your office, and a color monitor".

This is the year of the Lisp Machine desktop.

Here's an online Medley Interlisp session on my Chromebox. Your turn: show off your Lisp Machine environment.
