I got to see the Honeywell setup when the prototype was still being worked
on.  A friend worked at the old GE plant in Phoenix and gave me a tour.
The machine was sort of a throwback to the 1940's--it was literally a
walk-in unit with things in free-standing racks with plastic water tubing
all over the place.  There were still quite a few GE machines around the
place then.

But I think indirect water cooling (as a heat transfer medium) goes back as
far as SAGE.

Speaking of Honeywell, does anyone collect the pre-GE 16-bit minis?

Cheers,
