Sam Ismail used to have a DPS-6, if not more than one, but I don't think he was ever
able to do anything with it. Does it have GCOS-6 installed?
I worked on DPS-8's and GCOS-8 a lifetime ago. I did a little with GCOS-6, mainly
assisting with moving operations from DPS-6 Mini's over to HP 9000 workstations
running DPS-6 emulators.
I never had any GCOS-6 doc's and my GCOS-8 doc's were sent North a couple years
ago.

Along with the 11/44 I also picked up a Honeywell/Bull
DPS-6 deskside
workstation; I can't seem to dig up much information specific to this model
(a badge on the rear labels it as "Model/Index No. B01732"). I can take
some detailed pictures later this week after I've had time to clean it up
(it's very, very dirty), but it looks very similar to the DPS-6 unit
pictured on this site: http://www.feb-patrimoine.com/projet/gcos6/gcos6.htm
Anyone have any docs on this thing? Or fun anecdotes to share? What have
I gotten myself into with this thing?
Thanks,
Josh
