Hello gophers!
So I recently got a super awesome old Honeywell mainframe terminal.
It was a bit of a (ongoing) discovery process to figure out all the
ins and outs of it. But great fun!
Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of GCOS around to run anywhere
and hook the terminal up to (if you has, gimme gimme gimme!), so
for now I'll settle with an emulated multics on a rpi or something
of the sort.
I've attempted to document the entire process, and I've dedicated
a piece of my gopherspace to it, so I can put whatever materials I
can find about it under there.
Read the story here:
gopher://gopher.linkerror.com:70/1/honeywell_term/story
And this will be where I'll dump all the material:
gopher://gopher.linkerror.com:70/1/honeywell_term
I haven't found any type of technical documentation for it so far,
so most of what I've gotten it to do has been through
"reverse engineering" - and by that I mean, mostly brute force and
luck. :)
If you happen to have or find anything about honeywell BCRU211G
terminals (or similar) let me know! Contact info in the fingerrrrr
