I am excited if this means what I hope it means. This Rich Alderson guy works at the Living Computer Museum here in Seattle, where he describes himself as "maybe the last pro PDP-10 programmer in the world."
Anyway, I talked to him via email maybe a year ago when I learned that a particularly well-known PDP-10 computer known formerly as AI@MIT (serial # 4627) was here in Seattle at the museum.
He mentioned that it wasn't running because of a head crash and that someone at the museum was working to make a hard disk emulator that they could connect the machine to instead.
This email makes me wonder if they're making progress with resurrecting the AI machine, since he mentions having compiled ITS "...with the following settings, derived from those for the KS-10 AI system:"
