Err, which ran on a PDP-10. Although the name is perhaps more associated
with TOPS-10. TOPS-20 ran on the KL-10 model B and KS-10. It's parent
BBN-Tenex ran as far back as the first PDP-10 cpu the KA-10. The name
PDP-20 might have been used occasionally but just confused folks. Later
model DEC-10s and DEC-20s were just the same box painted different colours!
