Sorry, I was unclear, I meant production machines. Yes, you've got yours, and
that's quite an achievement.
I don't think there are any Cyber 70 (CDC
6000 series) systems still
running, but there's one in emulation, running PLATO. See cyber1.org.
It even has emulated console tubes...
I can't speak to Cyber 70 systems, but the 6500 at LCM runs SCOPE, KRONOS,
and NOS quite nicely. Getting it to this point was a very big project. You should come visit, and talk to the principal
engineer who did most of
the work of making it run.
Not sure if I'll get to your area, but if I do, I'll plan on that.
