Ah. That first link was really good. There people
can see what Peter
have in storage. Most of it very much possible to get running. So he
have actually four KI10 systems, as well as two KA10, and a bunch of KL
and KS. It was more than I thought.
Looks like a pretty good collection of all 36-bit
machines with PDP-10
like architecture. Missing is a PDP-6, as well as a few clones.
No one has a PDP-6. No one. :-((( The SC30 is
actually online on HECnet. :-)

I think his TOAD-1 is also running, but it
don't seem to be online on
HECnet right now.
If I understand it correctly, HECNET is a DECnet network, right? In that case, unless Peter or someone else has done
the work to make the
Toad-1 speak DECnet, no one's Toad-1, Peter's or any other, will ever be
on HECNET. The management at XKL absolutely forbade the software people
to work on DECnet, for reasons obvious to anyone knowing the company history.
Hmm. What would prevent it? After all DECnet already exists for TOPS-20.
Did XKL make such big, incompatible changes to T20 after they got it
from DEC?
I would definitely not hold it above Peter to fix it if it didn't work
for some reason. He has done things like that in the past.
The Toad-1 do have a node number allocated on HECnet anyway.
