In the next two weeks, we must dispose of the Honeywell DPS-6 mainframe -
somehow. So far two possiblities have fallen through.
Therefore, be it Known to All by these Presentments:
There is a fee DPS-6 in Carson City, Nevada, that is going to have to be
reduced to scrap, unless someone can step up to the plate, as they say,
and speak those rare words: "I'll take that..."
System will fit in a std-sized pick-up truck, forklift and loading
assistance is provided.
Sombody adopt this machine before we are forced to KILL it.
Cheers
(Hopefully Not The Grim Computer Reaper) John

Isn't a DPS-6
capable of running Multics?

No, that would be select DPS-8 models. The DPS-6 is basically a
Minicomputer. It runs GCOS-6 and maybe other OS's.
Someone *really* needs to save this system. It can't be me for
multiple reasons. These systems are *VERY, VERY* rare to find in
Hobbyist hands. Since this is the system that Sellam had, I think
there is only one, maybe two, other systems in Hobbyist hands.
