Yay, that's a bunch of cool stuff!!! *grins*

I would like to go further and wider with the simulation, building a
more complex system. One of the possibilities that I like to
investigate is to use a variant of Lisp as a system language (yes, I
know about the history of Lisp Machines etc...). I was wondering in
this context if it wouldn't be an
advantage to implement the CLISP instruction set here, as it would
make available a complete CL implementation at once.

You may want to look at the Movitz project, which seems to have similar goals.

The other possibility is to write a GCC backend for the architecture
and take advantage of all the free/open software that is available for
C.

My personal favorite is to help port ECL to whatever system I'm using. Then, I get to use the system's native C compiler, and also write CL.
