I finally got around to setting up the website http://www.honeypi.org.uk/ although there's only a couple of pages on it so far. For the time being if you have any comments about it, especially about my amateur attempt at website authoring, please post them here. When I make a significant update to the website I'll mention it here again.
On the hardware front I've been nursing forty year old PSUs back to life and adapting them to provide all the voltages needed by the core memory logic. Once that's done we can start testing the core memories themselves and find out whether the project is viable. It'll be a lot more viable when the weather gets warmer here.
Somebody told me that many surplus machines from the Honeywell 200/1200/2200 range were bought up by EUR Systems in Mechanicsburg PA and cannibalised for spare parts for their own machines, which they were still using in year 2000. I wonder what happened to them after that, but the fossil hunt will have to wait as we have enough parts to play with for the time being.
