- Well, sort of. We now have Macsyma running on a Motorola 68000 - based
- system with 6 megabytes of real memory. The operating system is a
- Unisoft UNIX system, which has been ported to some large number (>65) boxes.
- The Pixel people were kind enough to lend us a machine with enough
- real memory to make virtual memory unnecessary.
-
- It takes a long time to load up, but once running, it is quite responsive,
- and appears to be about 60% of a VAX 11/780 in terms of CPU time.
-
- We have not shaken down everything, but since the source code is unchanged
- from the VAX, we expect the bugs to be limited to lisp compilation
- glitches, or differences between versions of the UNIX system.
