I wouldn't bother, the R1000 essentially ran Ada in hardware. you can 
find more info and a lot af R1000 documentation (including h/w diagrams) 
here:

and a little more info here:

I used to use these machines to program on for a living - the user 
interface was awkward in the beginning, but once I got used to it, it
