[SCC_Active_Members] FYI: PDP Planet: Paul Allen's restored PDP-10son the net

[Lee Courtney]

We do have a Toad-1 which Rich is using to run TOPS-20. It was donated to
the Museum last year along with archives of TOPS-10 and -20.

Restoration of this machine would entail the following steps:

1. plug in
2. turn on
3. boot
