The Honeywell was the DPS-6, and it was into the 90's. I think the Harris
was the H500 or H550. The main thing I can remember about the Harris was
that it had 4 80MB 8" Hard Drives. Somewhere I've got a binder with
printouts of all the online doc's on the Harris.

What I want is a copy of the one Star Trek game that ran on the Harris! I
barely remember it, but it was the coolist text based ST game I've seen, and
wasn't one of the 10x10 grid games. Also had probably the best version of
Zork.
