LMI had some interesting hardware: the were one of the first users of the NuBUS (which was later used in a smaller version in the Mac II by Apple) and they had Lisp Machines with several CPU boards: these used the infrastructure of a single machine, but each board could run its Lisp independently. TI bought/licensed the technology from LMI and then developed a bunch of interesting machines, like: Lisp Machines with embedded Unix system running on its own 68020 and communicating via a 68010, the first commercial Lisp Microprocessor (a 32bit chip), compact Lisp workstations using that chip, a NuBUS board for the Mac II based on their Lisp chip, ...
