Sorry, those were all pdp-10's.
I have some html with an attempt at a partial lineage of the MIT '10s if
anyone is interested.

KA, KL & KS are various models of pdp-10's (my apologies to fell '10
lovers. that description does not do justice to the differences).
I thought the MDL sources were available on the net. The mdl compiler
was harder to find. I thought I found one for ITS at one point. Never
tried it however. ITS is easy to run on the 10 emulators. fast too.
