I believe so. There have been some efforts to make a softcore[1] Lisp Machine, but when I last looked, it appeared that they weren't seriously pursued. I would love to put together a softcore Lisp Machine. It would a tremendous learning experience and I think it could help spur some really interesting results in OS architecture. Particularly useful in that arena would be a multicore Lisp Machine. It would be a dream come true if I got a job building such a device and development was open-sourced from day 0. [1] Softcore, that is, a processor on an FPGA.
