Here is another system I must move on to someone else, a Honeywell DPS-6. It is incomplete, and requires at least a couple boards to make whole, to say nothing of getting it to actually work. It otherwise has a power supply and a floppy disk drive for booting. It comes with one dumb terminal with a big crack along the right side of the enclosure but unfortunately no keyboard (and no, it was not sold separately, I just didn't have it). I'll mention that Josh Dersch purchased its companion many years ago and he can probably answer more questions about this than I ever could.

I apologize that I did not have anything around to clean it up a bit when I took these photos. It will be cleaned up upon sale.

Dimensions: 1.7' wide x 2.5' deep x ~3' high. Weight: a lot (200lb?).

Available for pick-up in Stockton, California. Will ship via freight if you handle all the logistics.

Asking $250 or best offer.

Blimey, that machine is even older than the machines we have!

Unfortunately, no interest unless it is around the DPS 6/96 type.

Ok, an update thanks to Josh's memory recall and Bitsavers search foo: this unit was always just a parts machine as I got it incomplete, so no boards were ever removed to make the other one whole, but it seems it is missing some boards. And I now have this document to use to determine which boards are missing ==> http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/...es60level6/CC71_Level6Hbk_Oct78/CC71-00-1.pdf

I'll post a further update once I've been able to determine what isn't there.

In the meantime, I'll take offers.

I can possibly bring this to VCF West in a month.
