I'm looking for an Apple enterprise product called "AppleSearch". The
version I'm looking for is preferably "1.5", but others might be O.K.
Please contact me off list if you have questions or have a copy of this
product.
Sorry for this crass "commercial" request - but, hey, there is a nice
bounty available ;)
Thanks!
Lyle

this was on Ebay with a hidden reserve and didn't sell...
google came up completely empty on the model info. closest thing was a
B1800 which is clearly *not* the same vintage
Since Honeywell went Honeywell-Bull in the mid 80s? this should precede
that...
ended listings item 290852029412
anyone recognize what it is?

It is an Ultimate system in all likelyhood. There is a chain which uses
Pick currently that had Ultimate in a lot of their operations, perhaps
the ones that were seen were also the Ultimate systems.
I have 4 of these in stock. they run 68040 processors, 4mb of mem, and
up to 4 ESDI drives.
I don't think there were many other customers for these but for
Ultimate. Ultimate also marketed systems with a PDP 11 system hosting a
co processor which ran the ultimate pick code. Same binary would run on
both their Honeywell Level 6 systems as the PDP's, but the monitor code
which did I/O was vastly different for obvious reasons.
These systems had a cross compiled version of the system which had
larger 4k pages, and ran in native 68000 code. The monitor functions
etc., and the Ultimate source assembly code was mostly the same for
these systems. This system and the Ultimate 370 / ESA systems both were
cross compiles from the same ultimate virtual assembly into their hosts
native processor code, preserving the virtual structure of the Ultimate
system.

That's my thought as well. I worked on a lot of old Honeywell
systems (both Mini and Mainframes) in the early to mid-90's, and it
doesn't look anything like the gear I worked on.

I looked into my notes more and the systems Ultimate used (per my
previous post) were Honeywell Bull 1400's. I am certain they are ones
that we had samples of. However our actual shpped machines were the
1400. They strongly resembled this unit.
Ultimate shifted to a completely different strategy cross compiling
their entire pile of software into C code and then running it on
RS6000's so they never bought any of the other sample machines, and just
returned them.
thanks

Google books yielded some mentions of the B1900 as a Burroughs
machine, but I couldn't find anything for Honeywell. However, google
books tends to only find stuff from InfoWorld and Computerworld and I
am guessing that by the time of this machine Honeywell was participating
in much more specialized markets and not seeking press in either of
those magazines.
