Pretty cool article on the Apollo guidance system.
Whle
we're on the topic of Honeywell computers....does anyone recall which
model Honeywell was used onboard USN ships into the 80's for the
SUADPS system? Or for that matter, which Harris mini was used for
the USN SNAP-II?
thanks

The Honeywell was the DPS-6, and it was into the 90's. I think the Harris
was the H500 or H550. The main thing I can remember about the Harris was
that it had 4 80MB 8" Hard Drives. Somewhere I've got a binder with
printouts of all the online doc's on the Harris.
What I want is a copy of the one Star Trek game that ran on the Harris! I
barely remember it, but it was the coolist text based ST game I've seen, and
wasn't one of the 10x10 grid games. Also had probably the best version of
Zork.
