Rich Alderson has restored one of Paul Allen's PDP-10s
to working order and put it on the Internet running TOPS-10.
The website

    http://www.pdpplanet.com/

is an inspiration. It shows how the job should be done
and documented.

Indeed it is. Now if only we had one to restore, and a
billionaire of our own to pay for the project.  The Museum's
DPS-8 (formerly NSA's) has most of the essential parts, but
disk drives would have be created somehow.
