LM-3 --- resurrecting the MIT CADR

System 303.0 has been released. You can get it from https://tumbleweed.nu/system-303-0-release/.
Please upgrade from earlier releases as soon as possible, System 303 contains numerous fixes that make it usable on the Global Chaosnet, incorperates many changes from LMI Gigamos System 130 to make the two more compatiible.

Umbrella projects

These are umbrella projects that contain documentation and programs to make it easier setting up the MIT CADR and Lisp Machine environment either for normal use, or bootstrapping and debugging.

• Lisp Machine Working Directory (L)
• Lisp Machine Bootstrapping Working Directory (ZETA)
• Currently open bugs

System sources, bands and microcode

• System source tree
• System 303.0 world loads, disk image, etc.
