I recently acquired a Honeywell Level 6 Mainframe, printer, and numerous terminals. I was
wondering if anyone had any software, documentation, or general knowledge of it. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

New subject: Honeywell 316s? Re: Honeywell Level 6 Mainframe
Owen,
I don't know anything about Honeywells but I just found two Honeywell
316s in a scrap yard here in Florida. They look complete but they're just
the computers. They're about 18" w x 22" d x 14" h. They WERE mounted
in a
rack but are now sitting on a pallet. There are also two large rack mount
Pertec disk drives sitting on the same pallet. I don't know if they came
out of the same systems as the Honeywells or not. No sign of cables,
software, discs, docs or anything else from the system except a Teletype
model 32 sitting on the other side of the yard. I don't know if it may
have been part of the systems or not.

I hope you rescued them. As much as it pains me to admit it Honeywell
computers are worth rescueing as there aren't a lot out there. I suspect
most have been scraped already, especially ones that the Government had.

Joe,
Nope. The owner is wanting "offers" on them. I think he hopes to retire
soon! I'll be happy to pass on any offers or give you his name and phone
number. Much as I'd like to, I don't have the money to buy ANYTHING at the
moment. I just got back from the second day of a THREE day hamfest and I
have exactly $5 of spending money left! But I have gotten some GREAT
bargains. But that's another story.
