I've just skimmed through the first couple of pages, but didnt find anything about which lisp to use/howto. Any ideas?

It's a lisp dialect form the MIT called scheme. You can find more information here: https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/ https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/

  I guess racket is where the development continues for the scheme language. http://racket-lang.org/ http://racket-lang.org/

    There are a few: Gambit, Chicken-Scheme, Chez-Scheme, and Racket. Racket is starting to purposely diverge though like Pharo is to Smalltalk.

      Racket has official support for R5RS and R6RS, and unofficial support for R7RS-S. So you can program in scheme in with the Racket environment too.

    You also have GNU Guile, if you for whatever reason prefer the GNU stack. https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

There is a package that you can use with Racket: http://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual/index.html http://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual/index.html In order to use this, you will need to install Racket first: http://racket-lang.org/ http://racket-lang.org/

  I worked through a couple chapters of SICP using Racket and the SICP package in DrRacket before moving on to Emacs and Geiser. DrRacket is a great starting point if you don't want to bother with setting up Emacs and the SICP package even supports the image elements that are covered in the course.

  This is perfect, thanks. mit-scheme appears to be broken and unsupported on Windows.

You can use Racket, they recently introduced a new language pragma (#lang sicp) that includes all necessary functions.
