So I'm trying to work out MC's configuration. (I know, I know, I could look in CONFIG >, but I'm lazy.) Here's what I remember/can work out:

8 MF10's
(later) An Ampex? 'external' memory box was added
3 RP04's
So, therefore, some sort of MASSBUS controller, but since it was a KL10 Model A, not an RH20; probably an RH10
That would have needed a DF10
A TM10 of some sort; dunno if that had a separate DF10, or shared the one the RH10 used
Some sort of high-end DEC magtape drive
A DL10
Later, first one, and then a second Trident drive, attached to the DL10 PDP-11
The front-end -11 had a bunch of serial lines, probably a DH11
CHAOSNET eventually on the DL10 PDP-11
I'm not sure why they initially acquired the DL10+PDP-11 (i.e. what it did to begin with); probably more serial lines

Well, that's a start. Jnc (talk) 17:09, 12 April 2021 (CEST)
