Anyway, if anybody's got any links related to SECD machines, or implementing VMs in general and/or lisp implementations for them, be sure to send it my way

I'm also interested what #lisp machines were doing in hardware.

A more interesting description is being our resident scholar on the MIT lisp machines

@screwtape @lispegistus I was thinking of a small toot series where I describe the CADR in detail, it is a pretty little machine and much simpler than one might thing (it is much simpler than the Z80!)

@amszmidt @screwtape
That would be awesome, but also are there any papers I should read?
