Industry's First Virtual Control Memory Featured in LISP-Based Computer

Article Abstract:

Virtual control memory is the main feature of Lambda, LISP Machine Inc.'s (LMI) new computer. The memory can be programmed using LISP language, rather than Assembly, easily allowing Lambda to be conformed to a specific application. Lambda features the 32-bit NuBus architecture and a single-board system diagnostic unit which conforms system operations to the various other boards available. The system has a high resolution black and white display (color is also available), an A1 keyboard, and three- button mouse. A photograph of the system is also featured.
