It was the GE 600 line, then the GE 6000 line, Then Honeywell 6000, then some with 66's and 68's (66 was for GCOS, 68 for Multics), then DPS line. They are still available, although I think parts are made in Japan now. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) VMS is a text-only adventure game.

The largest machine in the line (DPS-90) is made in Japan by NEC, and the smaller (:-)) ones in Phoenix on an assembly line designed by Toshiba.
