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?

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)
