Foonly was a company which made PDP-10 clones.
They made 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 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 (running WAITS) and Symbolics.
The F-3 and F-4 were 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.
The F-5 was another small machine.
