i had an ultra 60 with one of those pentium-ii coprocessor cards, pretty handy for running a window app under solaris, they were neat. it lead some people to treat a $15,000 work station like it was the hewlett-packard they had sitting in their home office, living completely inside the coprocessor card's os

there are a lot of keys on a modern keyboard. the Lisp Machine keyboards didn't really have F-keys.

here's the keyboard overlay that came with the Symbolics MacIvory cards, as photographed by someone on eBay with terrible carpeting



it went on your Apple Extended Keyboard

and here’s the Symbolics keyboard layout



why did they put “rubout” where “control” belongs?
