Does anyone know off-hand where there might be a complete, working PDP-10
system?

system?
Assuming that you don't count XKL machines, the nearest operational system I
know of is in Washington state. Unless perhaps the Bootstrap Institute
(www.bootstrap.org) is still running AUGMENT on their DECSYSTEM-20.
Scott and I hope to get our DECsystem-1090 operational someday, but it
can't be accurately described as a "complete, working PDP-10 system" at
present.
Why do you ask?
Cheers,
Eric

[Unless Bootstrap is still running...]
Alas, I was made aware that bootstrap is now a copy of KLH10.
The KL was shut down a few months ago.
They did save the hardware though - One of their sysadmins took it
home with him.

Where in Washington were you thinking of?
My university had one but it was sold a few years ago. I don't know where
it ended up.
I didn't realize the Bootstrap Instutute used -10 hardware! That's really
interesting. I've been meaning to ask them about playing with their soft-
ware (it's something I've been interested in).
