Before NeXT decided to go software only I was analyzing CMUCL with the
intent of porting to NeXT 68k. Around that time I believe that CMUCL was
ported to Intel 486 (correct me if I am wrong). If this is so, a port to
NeXT on a 486 should not be too bad.
If someone with a NeXT 486 would like to try this I could point you to the
archives and code modules. If this works out I might consider reopening the
68k port.
Also note that I posted a patch to allow Allegro CL 3.1.20 to run under NS
3.x 68k.
