Thanks!

I haven't seen any information about KPS-5 or KPS-10 except one short 
article that I found after your post.
They were based on ND-550 and ND-570 respectively, with special 
extensions to the microcode.

My only experience of it is that we had LISP on the school computer, a 
ND-100. I always wondered why they had gotten such a specialised 
language for that machine but maybe it is related to that development.
