I have a need to make use of Common Lisp on the NeXT in the very near
future (i.e. I have a time frame of about three to four weeks in
which I want to hack together a prototype of a program on the NeXT.)
Sadly, the current version of Common LISP does not work with '040
processors, and even more sadly, every machine in sight at my
universitly seems to have done the '040 upgrade.  Question:  is there
any way to get Common Lisp functioning on these machines?

If someone can provide an appropriate patch, I'd very much appreciate it.
Alternatively, I've heard rumours that it is possible to put an '030
CPU board in with an '040, and get it working; if you can provide 
instructions, this is OK too.  Any and all other suggestions will be
most gratefully received.

Preferred method of response is via e-mail to "mcdonald@cs.sfu.ca".
Alternatively, post to this group, and I should get to it.  If
interest warrants, and I get enough e-mail replies, I will post
a summary.

Thanks in advance for all the help,
