the "b#####" may be a part of the DPS 6 ultimate system. That format
is suspiciously near the Bull Service number.. Please make sure that this
is not on something like the disk drives cabinets for the honeywell.
Also, since I'm in Southern California, I'd be glad to either go or
send a colleague up there to inspect the pile to make sure it is
grouped properly and carefully disassembled.
The Ultimate systems had pretty good cabling that might be taken
apart by amateurs or the uninitiated in curating old iron, but there may
be parts misplaced and packing considerations, especially to getting
the heads properly secured if indeed the "Bxxxxx" parts are drives.
They may be any of: 80mb, 300mb top load removeable, 160, 300
mb fixed, either SMD or ESMD drives.
