Symbolics 3600. The Symbolics 3600 was a lisp machine introduced in 1983. It is a direct descendant of the CADR lisp machine designed at MIT. Manufacturer.
The Symbolics 3620 is designed to address users' demands for increasingly powerful software development capabilities in smaller and more economical hardware packages. The new system is designed for entry-level development and expandable delivery of symbolic processing applications.
Genera is a commercial operating system and integrated development environment for Lisp machines created by Symbolics. It is essentially a fork of an earlier operating system originating on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) AI Lab's Lisp machines which Symbolics had used in common with Lisp Machines, Inc.
