For a very early overview of the technology I would recommend the 3600 Technical Summary. The 3600 was the first machine which was mostly designed by Symbolics. It was followed by three more generations (gate array processor, micro-processor and a virtual machine) of CPUs with something like 20+ further models.
I once used a 3600. :-) It greets with "Yes, master" when you turn it on.

- crististm 10y agoThe alpha port that wanders on the torrents doesn't seem to have that. Either I didn't see it or is it something specific to a particular version of 3600?
- lispm 10y agoThe 3600 is a physical machine, a computer with a cpu, memory, disks, tape drive, lots of slots for extensions, network interface, console interface. It has a display on the machine. That display shows the message.
