- Marc, you may want to look up a Massachusetts based company called
- "Symbolics".
-
- A lot of what I know about them is quite old.
- [...]
- They also used to make and sell their own hardware that was
- optimised to run LISP code as efficiently as LISP code can be run.
-
- Still do. Have just recently come out with the NXP1000. I don't know
- much about it except I believe it's a desktop machine and runs Lisp
- pretty fast (somewhere in the range of a Sun 4 I believe, but with a
- much better development environment). Symbolics' number is 800-394-5522.
-
- I remember the name "LISP BOOM" for some reason.
