No.  The Foonly existed BEFORE the KL-10 went into production.  This
was long before the "Jupiter" cancellation.  (Anyone from SAIL want to
expand on this?)

With all this talk of PDP-10 compatibles, I'm surprised that no one
has mentioned Systems Concepts and their SC-30M.  (I've heard that
Compuserve replaced all of their DEC CPUs with SC-30M's.)
