I'm afraid most of Stackens stuff is lost forever. :-( There was a 
little stuff saved in a warehouse somewhere still, if you remember...

But we did manage to save a KS-10, and they kept one at KTH. Both should 
be functional. That's always something.

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.

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.
