I am amused that the narrator describes an odd (to him) bit of
functionality of the Apple ][: it contains built-in hardware to turn
an incoming audio stream into data in memory, which they use to
transmit their Lisp into its RAM, as it has insufficient memory to
develop code on the machine itself. :?)

I don't have any video to back it up, but I do have a working lisp for a
16K Microdata 1621 firmware set.
also there is a few boots to run in firmware to do some of the link
chasing, as well as a virtual memory extension to page to a platter on a
dynex 5mb disk (2.5 / platter). The writers of it didn't complete a
garbage collect algorithm, but it could run till the disk filled up.
There was 16k total memory of which about 12k was used to host lisp.
1972 or so.
thanks
