What is the state of CommonLisp on 80386 based machines, such as
the Compaq 386.  It seems as though this machine could be reasonable
for lisp.  Has anyone looked into this possibility?  If so, the questions
that I have are:

Is there a virtual memory operating system that will support large programs?

How good are the CommonLisp implementation available?

Thanks in advance for any info anyone can pass along, I will summarize
the info I get,  -Jeff

LUCID recently announced an agreement with INTEL to produce a CL for the
80386.

Golden Hill has an add-on board consisteng of an 80386, with 16K I believe.
Gold Hill should also run in extended memory on COMPAQ 80386.  I don't
think either of the above takes real advanatage of the 80386 architecture
(which is almost suitable for a LISP implementations).

The Gold Hill add-on board has a 386 and 16 MEG (not K) of RAM.
It's called the Hummingboard and was designed by AI Architects of
Cambridge MA.

Franz Inc.'s Extended Common Lisp (ExCL) runs on the 386 architecture.

N.B. ExCL is not the same as Franz Lisp.
