I'm quite familiar, I've restored and written simulators and implemented FPGAs for almost all of them in various states of disarray. Your claim was that they had special architecture optimisations, that was not the case, and a common misconception -- your quite condescending tone notwithstanding.

The schematics, the Lisp Machine system associated for it, are available (I'm unsure of legal status). If anyone is interested in driving that, I'd be really interested to help (but my primary interest is just the CADR due to lack of hours in the day :-) ) Here is a wonderful article about the K-Machine: http://fare.tunes.org/tmp/emergent/kmachine.htm http://fare.tunes.org/tmp/emergent/kmachine.htm
