The RICM has lots of them:

The University of
Delaware Electrical Engineering department had
several of these in their machine room circa 1982. I can't remember
what they were used for; I think it was for research being done by a
particular professor because I don't recall ever hearing of them being
used for student work. Instead we were using the PDP-11/70, and I
think later a VAX, for C and FORTRAN related homework.
