GC Lisp may be the best Common Lisp for the PC AT. It uses protected mode
and extended memory. It includes a Emacs like editor.

However it is subset. While it includes critical features like lexical 
scoping, it leaves out many useful functions and features like
hash tables, random numbers, complex and rational
number, modules, keyword arguments of user functions. Also many
of the functions that it does provide don't support all the Common
Lisp parameters.
