- Our group at NRL is planning to purchase Sun workstations. I
- currently have a substantial amount of code written in Franz Lisp that
- I want to run on the Sun.
-
- What is the status of the Berkeley group porting Franz to the Sun?
- How do I get a copy?
-
- Also, I have a few concerns about configuring a Sun to run Franz well.
- The basic desktop Sun workstation provides 1 Mbyte of physical memory.
- This can be extended to 2 Mbyte or one can add an Ethernet interface
- *but not both*. Since I am unwilling to give up my Ethernet
- interface I may be forced to run Franz in 1 Mbyte and contend with
- the added paging overhead (using a 68010 running 4.2bsd and a local disk).
-
- Has anyone out there had experience running Franz Lisp on a Sun in
- such a configuration? Can I get away without the 2 Mbyte extension?
- I think your answers would be of general interest.
