You are thinking of the Ampere WS-1.  It runs an APL called
"BIG.APL" on a 68000 chip, which is probably very much like
APL.68000.  I think, for instance that the workspaces are
interchangeable with those that are created by APL.68000 on
the Atari, Amiga, and the Mac.

I think that company Renaissance Data Systems can supply them.
They can be reached at:
