I am by no means well acquainted with the Honeywell line. But I was under
the impression that a Honeywell DPS was never called a BULL, it was called a
DPS. The only system with the Honeywell brand that was called a BULL was
actually an OEM'ed RS6000 that Honeywell put the BULL label on.
Can someone confirm or deny?

Don't know about that but I have a box which I picked up from a
company I worked for a long time ago which was always called a
Honeywell Bull. It wasn't an RS6000 but used an M68020.

That's why I said "It WASN'T an RS6000". The first message said
he thought all "Honeywell Bulls" were RS6000s. Mine is a M68020
based system not an RS6000.

HUH? To the best of my knowledge no RS/6000 has ever used a M68020.
However, numerous systems from numerous manufactures have, Mac's and
Amiga's being a couple of the more popular.
