Lisp Machine hacking

CRANK

What are Lisp Machines? See here (also has links to more information).After hacking the CADR emulator (much fun!) in 2005, I hacked emulators for the TI Explorer: the Meroko and Nevermore for a while. In 2017 I was bit by the Lambda bug: the LambdaDelta emulator for the LMI Lambda by Daniel Seagraves.I sometimes run a real Symbolics 3650, but it's very very noisy (and the screen is now illegible)... Back in the old days I worked on real CADRs, LMI Lambdas, and TI Explorers.LMI LambdaThe Lambda emulator (LambdaDelta) is really really good: on a modern machine it's at least as fast as the original (although it interprets the microcode), and you don't have to re-seat the boards every now and then, like on the original! So far I made small contributions to it, like implementing the visual and audible bell, and fixing small bugs.I also ported the DNS implementation I did for TI Explorers back in 1987 to the LMI system, and implemented DHCP for it.
