A lot of the IP is tied up in probate and the guy who owns the rights to most of it died a couple of years ago.
There's an emulator and ways to run it on a 64-bit *nix system if you know where to look..
There's a lot of effort "behind the scenes" to save/preserve/document as much of the stuff as possible.

- mepian 8y agoIn 2012 Kalman Reti, the last Symbolics hardware and software engineer, mentioned that John C. Mallery (of CL-HTTP fame) acquired the IP from the probate and was thinking about open-sourcing everything. That was a while ago, so I guess the new owner changed his mind or he is too busy with his cybersecurity business. I wonder if there is a way to convince him to do the right thing.
