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
