Having worked at SDC in the Q7/Q7A buildings (that once housed the SAGE 
Q7 computers at SDC) am only mildly aware of the efforts to construct a 
network to share the orphaned Q32 computer (the successor to the Q7.)

(By-the-way, a couple of years back I stopped at a hat shop in Santa 
Monica to buy a Peruvian hat.  While there I realized that the shop was 
in a nice office, new-ish complex that occupied the campus that once was 
the SDC 2400/2500/Q7 buildings.  There was no trace of what was once there.)
