I finally dug up the link to the CADR stuff (there?s probably some other useful links
there as well).

The CADR emulator and all of the microcode and OS (disk) images are in the download
directory. Even if you don?t use the emulator, if you ever want to get the CADR running
again
you?ll need the microcode and OS images.

Without the console doing much with the CADR is going to be tough. Not having the disk
isn?t too terrible as the basic contents (uCode and system code) are available. There?s
even an emulator for the CADR though I don?t have the link handy at the moment. Ping me
if you have trouble finding it.
Good luck with the LMIs!
I have several Symbolics machines (3620, 2 3640, 3650) that are more or less complete.
The 3620 works (at least the last time I powered it on it did?not enough time to ?play?).
At least one of the 3640s has shown signs of life and the 3650 (which came back to me
after a vacation of 10 years or so) needs some ?love? but it?ll be worth it because in
addition to the normal console it has the ?good? color frame buffer! The biggest issue
for me is consoles. I have 3 but one is in need of repair.

Two of them in fact, and a CADR - In my garage, no less!
The Lambdas are in bad shape, and the CADR is in very bad shape and missing its console
and disk. It?s going to take awhile to get them cleaned up and see how viable they are.
On the plus side, I got a some spares and debugging equipment, and I have a working
PDP-11 to debug the CADR with if it gets that far, so there?s a good chance I should be
able to get at least one working.
I?ll post more as things develop.
