Does this still exist??? I begged Gerry Moersdorf for a dump of the
SCSI drives in the CompuServe SC-40s. He was unable to do it. I really
wanted it too. :(   And LCM will never give me a copy of theirs. :(((

If I remember correctly, Compuserve was using Foonlys towards the end, since they were much more economical to run than the Systems Concepts machines.   Maybe someone can comment.
  

BTW, anybody know if TYMCOM-X survives anywhere? (That's the
Tymshare/Tymnet one.)

I was a TYMCOM-X "user" of sorts.   Joe Smith, formerly of Tymshare, may possibly know what happened to the code, if you ask him nicely.   :)   His site is here: http://www.inwap.com/pdp10/
