The Stanford Super Foonly was designed, but never built. The project ran out of ARPA funding in the earl 70s. There may or may not be SUDS drawing and/or microcode in the Saildart archives. There was ever only one Foonly F1. It was used in movie production, but no one knows where it ended up. I have seen bits and pieces of the smaller Foonlies in musems catalogs and such. I doubt there's anything complete enough to be considered working. But who knows, there were a few made and maybe one will pop up from somewhere eventually. Software wise, besides running the standard PDP-10 stuff. There is a copy of Foonex, the Foonly hacked TENEX, on Bitsavers. There is also microcode for the F2, and it even comes with a working assembler should anyone want to hack it. WAITS can run on a Foonly.
