Which one?
Which KA10 does this front panel come from? It's unusual because it says "KA10" rather than "PDP-10", or at least it's the only one I have seen on photos online. Since there's a label saying it's from MIT, it must be either AI or DM. ML looks like this Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 09:22, 10 January 2022 (CET)
Ok, I see the number 144 on one of the labels, which is the DM PDP-10 serial number. May I post this photo on (anti)social media? Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 09:30, 10 January 2022 (CET)
- Yes, DM. (AI eventually went to Sweden, or some, didn't it? I seem to recall some discussion of how, after it went to some groups whose name escapes me at the moment, they decided they couldn't do much with it, and it was given to some group in Europe.) Whatever happened to ML?
- The image comes under the same license as all other content here: the GFDL license. So do with it what you will! :-)
- Speaking of DM and AI, how many KA's are left in the world? I was just reading about one that was run in someone's apartment? And ISTR that the LCM had/had one - perhaps the same one? Jnc (talk) 12:41, 10 January 2022 (CET)
- The AI KA went to the Conocurse program with an understanding it would be taken care of. It was scrapped somehow.
- I don't know exactly what happened to the DM or ML KAs, but obviously bits and pieces scattered around. Bawden has the ML console in the photo above, and the DM pager indicator panel.
- The MC KL did go to Sweden, but is now in storage at LCM.
- Another KA from Finland, #175, went to Sweden and on to LCM. It was restored and runs TOPS-10.
- The KS10s that replaced the above are mostly intact. The one called AI is also at LCM; I helped install ITS on it.
- Digex did have a KA in his apartment, but I think he traded it away for a KL.
