Honeywell (was: Re: Wanted stuff)

You mean a Honeywell DPS-6? That _IS_ a small Honeywell!!! I spent over three years working on Honeywell Mainframes, I'm kind of saddened that no one seems to be collecting them. I qualified on a DPS-6, but my main experience was a DPS-8. I pretty much did it all on that beast, first an operator and periphrial equipment operator, then finally a DBA and Systems Analyst. The hardware setup was pretty cool, and I blame it for my infatuation with switches and LED's on computers :^) I'm happy to say that I can't remember anything anymore on the software side. Not even how big a link or little-link was. GCOS-8 was a nightmare! Actually I don't think I'd have minded it as much if they just listed stuff in sizes I could remember :^) <mutter, mutter, now how many bytes are in a little-link, mutter> Hmmm, it really amazes me, now that I think about it, I really can't remember _anything_ about GCOS.
