I mentioned that it was a 286-10 -- that's what QAPlus says. No where on
the board can I find a 286 processor. It has an ISA bus, and runs a OEM'd
version of DOS 3.3. It also has a software-driven Turbo setting.

Maybe that's the mainframe that goes with a
computer that I found! <g>
Doubt it, though.
I just got a Honeywell Bull AP/M from a flea market for $1.
Anyone have any info on this thing? From what I can tell, it's a 286-10,
AT
compatible, and has a 20MB HD ST-225 behind a
translucent plate (sort of
like an AT&T 6300, but gray) under the 1.2MB floppy. It also has a spot of
a "full-height" 3.5" floppy (as high as a half-height 5" floppy).
ThAnX,

I have an opportunity to acquire a Honeywell Bull
mainframe, free of
charge. I don't have many details on it, but I'm told the computer is
about 4x3x2 feet and supported 30 terminals. Any opinions on whether or
not this is a computer worth saving, and if it is worth the space it will
take up?
Thanks.
