I finally got to see a LMI Lambda in real life...

I finally dug up the link to the CADR stuff (there’s probably some other useful links there as well).
http://www.unlambda.com/index.php?n=Main.Symbolics <http://www.unlambda.com/index.php?n=Main.Symbolics>.
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.

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.
