The DECStation 3100 is based on the MIPS processor.  Porting a native
code Common LISP compiler is a major task, and recognizing this fact
Synthesis Software Solutions, Inc., which is the software consortium
for the MIPS processor, has funded Franz Inc. to port Allegro CL to
the MIPS processor.  This work is almost complete for the Silicon
Graphics 4D and the MIPS M Series computers.  At the completion of
these ports, Franz Inc. will release on the DECStation 3100 after
hacking the port to handle the "reversed" byte order (with respect to
the rest of the current MIPS workstation offerings) on the 3100.
Please contact Franz Inc. for more specific information
(info%franz.uucp@Berkeley.EDU).
