I am looking for a used lisp machine that works!  Preferably a Xerox 1185 or 
1186.  With the necessary ROMs!  Preferably here in Europe!  This is to 
recover some software and advance on it...

Thanks,

Did you try the available emulator?

Curiously,

He was looking for a Xerox machine, it seems.
The Xerox Interlisp machines are very different
from a CADR. Getting a CADR (emulator) will not
help much to recover software from a 1185 or 1186.

There is a commercial emulator for it - a bit expensive.

Exactly!  I have 2 to 3 Xerox Lisp virtual memories on a Xerox disk!  If I 
could find the special AI ROMs for the 1186, I would only need a Xerox 6085 
which should be more plentiful but not at the eBay price!

There's a version of it with the medley application available 'for non
commercial purposes' from ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/lfg/.

If you close medley you have a functioning Interlisp system to play with.
