very cool.
Has any information about the Racal-Norsk KPS-5 or KPS-10 ever surfaced?
Apparently they were multi user machines which ran zetalisp (lisp machine
lisp) and were based on one of the ND machines (ND-500?).
One apocryphal story is that someone completed reverse engineered and
documented zetalisp for the project. That document would be a nice to
have in machine readable form...

Thanks!
I haven't seen any information about KPS-5 or KPS-10 except one short
article that I found after your post.
They were based on ND-550 and ND-570 respectively, with special
extensions to the microcode.
My only experience of it is that we had LISP on the school computer, a
ND-100. I always wondered why they had gotten such a specialised
language for that machine but maybe it is related to that development.
