Rumor had it
that there was a whole bunch of -10s at some Scandinavian
university (Oslo? Stockholm?) in the 1980s. Anybody know what became
of those?
I know that a user group at a Swedish university has several big, old
iron machines in storage and some of them in operation. E.g. a 10 m wide
VAX 11/780, several VAX8000 and VAX6000. Also I saw a DECSYSTEM 20xx...
some Sun 4, Norsk Data, ... See:

I am convinced that the rumor of Scandanavian -10s is either simply not
true, or blown out of proportion. The group mentioned above does indeed
have a DEC-20 of some sort, but no KA10s or KI10s as the rumor states.
This rumor has been circulating for years. Unless someone gives me
*concrete* evidence, I have to doubt the existence of the mythical -10s.
