'''Foonly''' was a company which made [[PDP-10]] clones.

They had their own operating system, [[FOONEX]], for their machines; it was based on [[TENEX]].

== Computer models ==

The F-1 was an ECL adaptation of the original [[Super Foonly]] design. The only one was built at [[Information International Inc|III]] for use in an optical character recognition system, and later was bought by Omnibus for generating computer graphics.

The F-2 was a small machine.  Among other places, it was used at [[CCRMA]] and the [[S-1 supercomputer]] project (running [[WAITS]]), and [[Symbolics]].

The F-3 and F-4 were larger machines, popular with [[Tymshare]], which built their own versions. Tymeshare's System 26KL was an update of the F-4 design with [[KL10]] capabilities, intended to run [[Douglas Engelbart]]'s [[Augment]].

== Peripherals ==

* The '''Foonly C1''' was a disk [[channel]] for [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]] computers, compatible with [[International Business Machines|IBM]] drives.
