I'm sorry, I usually try and keep it together on this list.
Dwight- your post is a shitpost.

I'm not gonna delve into details, but the Symbolics machines have a
substantial number of unique challenges going for them. It's not as if none
of us have invested substantial time into understanding what's going on.
It's an extremely complicated, largely undocumented system.
Impossible? No. That said, your experience with bootstrapping an IMSAI
could not possibly be a more irrelevant anecdote.
But I do appreciate that you bootstrapped an S-100 machine once.
"A lisp machine would clearly be difficult but not impossible for a
determined
hacker.
If it was designed to run it can be made to run again."
I don't know you and you obviously don't know me.
I know many people like you. Many that claim to know what they are
doing and are experts in there fields.
I am curious about you statement" It wasn't", as to designed to run.
Dwight
If it was designed to run it can be made to run
again.
It wasn't. That's part of the problem.
