- Nice to see they let MIT-MC outside to run in the sun. Free range mainframes are the happiest mainframes.

by DonHopkins - Incredible project! It would be amazing to have this machine up and running, I never thought that would even be possible. I wonder about your electricity bills though :-)by ozymandiax
- That's Peter's old machine! Used to be in the care of Stacken, the computer club at Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. It's named Kicki because of the dual CPUs (KI KI). She had a sister named Katia ("a ten" in Swedish is "tia" and she had a KA CPU).
According to DEC you could only run one KI CPU, and then changed that when challenged to MAX two CPUs. So briefly she ran with three.
