[comp.ai] MicroExplorer vs. MacIvory

Well?  Well?   

    About three weeks ago I posted a request polling any
users who have had experience with the Texas Instruments
MicroExplorer and/or the Symbolics MacIvory machines.  I received
a number of replies -- all of them being requests to post the
results.  Nobody has sent any experienced based opinions.

I understand there are some MacIvory beta units out there,
and I know that TI has been shipping for some time.  If you have any
light that you can shed on on this, I'd appreciate you following up
to this article.  I'd really like to see a good discussion ensue.

My project had access to a MacIvory for a few days (it actually
belongs to another project), and we had no trouble moving our stuff
onto MacIvory.  We had used some undocumented, unsupported system
internals, but they were not hard to rectify, and the legitimate code
runs just like on our 3650.  I want one.
