Hi Paul,
nice to read someone mentioning a H316!

My father worked in a mine in the '70s that was
using a Honeywell 316 for
process control.
Interesting. I'd love to get some sort of working process
control for the x16
I/O bus...
I was thinking it might be neat to see if I could
track one
down.
I *know* about a handfull (or two) machines around the world. I don't
know much
about those systems' conditions. But they should mostly work when powered on.
The stuff seems to be very reliable.
I have a working H316. And another sitting there unused - but the second one is
not my unit. Both are working perfectly except for one bad sense amplifier in
the second unit.
What are they worth the days?
No idea.
They're too rare to know. I assume that a working unit would cost at
least USD 500 on eBay.
How common are they?
Not very common. But good
vintage computers.
Kind regards,
Philipp
