There is a portion of "CLYDE" , most probably a section
of the maintenance console (billions of flashing lights), at both
the Smithsonian in D.C., and the Boston Computing Museum(?). I
have some relics of the system but no, you can't have them.
Also watch for (CLYDE, SAGE, Q7, whatever) in low-budget
sci-fi movies and even on SOAP (Bert gets abducted by aliens in
UFO's ).
