Talk:Honeywell 316 (Kitchen Computer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] trivia
- "The original Prime computers were compatible with Honeywell (now Groupe Bull) Series 16 minicomputers." [1]
- "Moore developed the first complete, stand-alone implementation of Forth in 1971 for the 11-meter radio telescope operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) at Kitt Peak, Arizona. This system ran on two early minicomputers (a 16 KB DDP-116 and a 32 KB H316) joined by a serial link." [2]

[edit] expand
This article should be renamed Honeywell 316 and expanding to cover other uses of the Model 316. Perhaps something along the lines of Data General Nova. The kitchen computer info will then be a section of this article. Keep the redirect from Kitchen Computer to here. I'll be working on this as I track down reliable sources.--mikeu 16:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] draft rewrite
"The Honeywell 316 was a popular 16-bit minicomputer built by Honeywell starting in 1969. It is part of the Series 16 which includes the Models 116, 316, 416, 516 and 716. They were commonly used for data acquisition and control, remote message concentration, clinical laboratory systems and time-sharing. The Series 16 computers are based on the DDP-116 designed by Gardner Hendrie at Computer Control Corporation (3C) in 1964." --mikeu 17:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
