Good luck!  CMU phased out six 2060s over a three-four year period,
ending about a year ago.  Towards the end nobody would take them!  The
fourth was sold to someone for $500.  He was going to build a closed
environment system on it and turn around and sell it.  I heard that the
last two were sold for scrap.  *sob*

I love(d) the Tops-20 OS.  I still have about 25 manuals.  I'd go back
to being a humble operator in a minute just to work on 20's again.

SWPMNE, ILMNRF, THUD!
