Honeywell DPS/6 (was Re: PDP-11/44 boot prompt)

<SHUDDER> you'd have to be a glutten for punishment! I've used them, GCOS-6 isn't my idea of a fun time. Of course most of my experience was with a DPS-8 and GCOS-8 (not much fun either). I hope whoever get's it also good set of Doc's both for the software and the Hardware! If those are the Honeywell drives I suspect, they're a pain. BTW, the Navy used the DPS-6 for Supply computers, and started retiring them in 1994. They also used them for other things. If you can find any old "Data Processing Technicians" that never throw anything out, you might be able to find some doc's if they went to any of the Honeywell schools, most tossed the books after the class. Honeywell did have good training, and most classes provided you with great manuals. I never took any DPS-6 classes so not sure what all they had, all my docs are for programming the DPS-8.
