Talk:Honeywell 6000 series

Hardware development

If anyone has manuals, etc. they're badly needed. I got the info on MIPS from the website cited, but it seems obviously wrong to me. What's really needed is info on the develoment of the line. Where did virtual memory come in (oher than Multics)? What about newer peripherals? Are any of the Bull machines compatible? Bull is even worse than Unisys when it comes to providing any useful information about current products on their website. Peter Flass (talk) 19:46, 18 May 2014 (UTC).

Software

The [[1]] (Dartmouth Time-Sharing System) operating system ran on Honeywell 6000 and DPS/8 hardware. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.242.9.124 (talk) 03:03, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

It much precedes Honeywell. It initially ran to a GE-235 with a DATANET-30.Peter Flass (talk) 03:31, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Request for comments https://www.generationofcomputer.in

Editors are posting links to articles in “generation of computer” in several computer articles. I’d like some thoughts about whether this can be considered a reliable source. It seems ungrammatical, at least.Peter Flass (talk) 02:05, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

This does not seem to be a reliable source; which articles are involved? Myoglobin (talk) 04:42, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

The content of the site is unremarkable and in places almost unintelligible; I wonder if it is a school project? Whatever the site's purpose or origin, I think it should be removed from External Links sections per WP:ELNO. Dorsetonian (talk) 09:02, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

• Do not use Website does not contain quality articles. Do not use links from the site.Does not appear to be worthy of being quoted on wikipedia-Mnair69 (talk) 13:18, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
• Don't use As well as what previous poster said it also looks like they hope to advrtise PC's and laptops on it. And the about just says nothing about eitorial r standards o anythng like that. and it isn't very good at the basics of the history.. NadVolum (talk) 15:23, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

No, not at all. Not even close. Sennalen (talk) 00:58, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Enough for me. I thought so, but I just wanted some other opinions. I found six articles and reverted them. The editor used an IP address, so it’s possible there may be other occurrences that I didn’t detect. Peter Flass (talk) 02:02, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! I removed a couple more, using the list of IPs at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/Local/generationofcomputer.in. Dorsetonian (talk) 07:15, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Addressing modes

@Guy Harris: Edit Special:Permalink/1183264287 removed the addressing modes section. While it might be reasonable for a brief summary to refer to GE-600 series#Addressing modes for details, I don't believe that it is reasonable to remove all references to, e.g., indirect addressing. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
