while trying to build Franz Lisp (from 4.3 BSD) on VAX/ULTRIX 4.5,
I noticed its peculiar list of supported platforms:
use: lispconf type
where type is one of
vax_4_1 vax_4_1a vax_4_1c vax_4_2 vax_4_3
vax_eunice_vms
sun_4_1c sun_unisoft dual_unisoft pixel_unisoft
sun_4_2beta lisa_unisys3 mc500_2_0
I was especially surprised by "lisa_unisys3". is that Unisoft SysIII
for the Apple Lisa?! and does anyone know what
{dual,pixel}_unisoft and mc500_2_0 mean?

You might get a better answer by asking on comp.lang.lisp, but my
guesses are that mc500_2_0 is a Masscomp 500 (?) running RTU 2.0.
Dual seem to have been people who made early 68k boards and machines
and (according to
http://www.clock.org/~fair/computers/dual-systems.html) were Unisoft's
first customer. Didn't Sun use unisoft as well, before the BSD ports
(so sometime pre SunOS 1 I guess...).
All of these, look like early 68k Unix machines - there must
have been hundreds of kinds of these, I guess.
