We have 2 Foonly F3 systems.  They have a front panel with switches and
lights (sort of like a KI) and load their microcode from tape.  Tymshare
had some F3's running Tenex (with microcode that acted like a KA with
a BB&N pager) and some F3's running TYMCOM-X (with microcode that acted
like a single-section KL).  The Augment group had some F4 systems they
later upgraded to F4X (aka Tymshare-26KL) which ran TOPS-20, complete
with extended addressing.

The 2 F3's were running before McDonnel Douglas moved us from Fremont to
San Jose.  (The heads on the disks weren't locked down, but the CPU's
are fine.)  They're just sitting there in the back room - we don't know
what to do with them.
