I own a Honeywell 716 Minicomputer, in running order.
It´s a general
purpose 16-bit machine, with 128 KB of ferrite core memory, a cassette
tape device, a front panel as main console, and an ASR-33 Teletype as
operator's console.
That sounds pretty cool. That is also quite a great deal of core - lucky you.
I´ve read somewhere (don´t know if it´s true) that
first nodes in
Arpanet were Honeywell DDP 516. I think my system is the next model
(Honeywell DDP 716). In fact, mine can execute H-516's instructions set.
RCS/RI will (hopefully) have one of the ARPAnet machines in the near
future, to go with our old NSFnet stuff. I believe the model number is 316.
Take a look at the RCS/RI page (if you can not connect, try a different day,
as the machine may be powered down).
