The '''CADR''' was the first successful [[LISP machine]], built by the [[MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory\|MIT AI Lab]] as a follow-on to the prototype [[CONS]] machine. Production apparently started in 1978; as of December, 1978, four were operational.

	Physically, the [[microcode]]d [[Central Processing Unit\|CPU]] was a single huge [[wire-wrap]] swing-out bay mounted in the front of an [[H960 rack]]. A separate [[backplane]] held [[main memory]] cards, [[input/output\|I/O]] cards, etc.		Physically, the [[microcode]]d [[Central Processing Unit\|CPU]] was a single huge [[wire-wrap]] swing-out bay mounted in the front of an [[H960 rack]].
