Additional comments by Tom Knight

This diagram is largely correct, but was not a snapshot in time. 1401 was gone before Multics 635 installation. 936/936A had not lisp machines until much later. 7090 was replaced by the 645 Multics machine. 908 had the Kludge PDP-7, and the AI PDP-1 was traded in for the PDP-6. The DM PDP-10 and the IMP were located near the DM PDP-6, toward what is labeled 1401. For those of you following along, synthetic biology was started in my lab in rooms 922/923.

I should do a diagram of what I can remember of the layout in my time. E.g. the IMPs were indeed on the outer wall under where it says '1401', but the DM PDP-6 was between them and the DM KA10. Jnc (talk) 12:01, 11 January 2022 (CET)
That would be good. Someone is making a 3D model of the AI PDP-6/10 room, and possibly the entire floor eventually. Additional details would be helpful. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 17:27, 23 January 2022 (CET)

Location of MC

Trying to get a better fix of MC. There's a photo here: https://donhopkins.com/home/catalog/images/mc-console.jpg There seems to be a corner right behind the CPU. Is that room 936? Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 17:27, 23 January 2022 (CET)
