Honeywell Bull <forgot something> - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

18 Jan 1999

I mentioned that it was a 286-10 -- that's what QAPlus says.  No where on
the board can I find a 286 processor.  It has an ISA bus, and runs a OEM'd
version of DOS 3.3.  It also has a software-driven Turbo setting.

 Maybe that's the mainframe that goes with a
computer that I found! <g>
Doubt it, though.

I just got a Honeywell Bull AP/M from a flea market for $1.

Anyone have any info on this thing?  From what I can tell, it's a 286-10, AT
...
 compatible, and has a 20MB HD ST-225 behind a
translucent plate (sort of
like an AT&T 6300, but gray) under the 1.2MB floppy.  It also has a spot of
a "full-height" 3.5" floppy (as high as a half-height 5" floppy).

ThAnX,

 I have an opportunity to acquire a Honeywell Bull
mainframe, free of
charge.  I don't have many details on it, but I'm told the computer is
about 4x3x2 feet and supported 30 terminals.  Any opinions on whether or
not this is a computer worth saving, and if it is worth the space it will
take up?

Thanks.
