You have ``AI Working Paper 80'' from Knight, which describes the CONS
micro-processor in the machine which is what you are interested in I'm
sure. The copy I have, that is attached to this post, is a draft but
seems more than complete enough for a modern Verilog implementation.
The actual schematics used to build the machine probably exist guarded
by the MIT shrine maidens (MIT has a very large personal archive of
work that has not been fully categorized and set free yet).
If you want to look past the Knight Machine, research exploded after
Sussman and Steele's ``LAMBDA: The Ultimate Opcode''. From there you
have a lot you can read about; the MIT CADR, the entire line of SCHEME
chips, some Prolog machines, and the G-Machine (which is still alive
inside of Haskell's GHC).
