   Quite a few people have been connecting to our new Systems Concepts SC40 PDP-10

   Here is an image gallery of what it looks like on the inside:

   The SC40 kept the 36bit computing market alive through the 1990s into the 2000s. Services like CompuServe and Tymnet relied on them.

   If you're interested in an account, check out https://twenex.org for access to our XKL Toad-2 which will also get you an account on the SC40.

     @alderson Stewart and Michael moved and had to clean out their house. And to reassure you this was never associated with OATH which is a collection that is still intact right now. The upside of that is this has an ETHERNET. Doesn't it feel faster than a Toad?

     @SDF @bv Since it can do Ethernet, it can also do Chaosnet.
