Wow, there's also a virtual Honeywell 2000 computer. I have not-so-fond memories of finding a Honeywell 200 system in my university's administration building. It was the only machine on campus with a Cobol compiler. Compilations took 30 minutes or more; the admin folks kindly allowed me an hour at a time on the machine. I don't remember much of the system now, though I do remember that Pass 2 of the compiler was the system sort utility (don't ask me why). I believe that the 2000 was the Big Sibling of the 200. Also, on the subject of punched cards, Datamation ran an article in the 1960s that dealt with the nasty subject of storing blank cards (every computer center had a room with huge boxes of punched cards and of printer paper). You could get rid of your card storage problem by running a cool program. Whenever you need a box of cards, you run the program, put a box of blank cards in the punch input hopper, and presto! blank cards in the output. Believe it or not, Datamation claimed that they'd had a number of requests for this magic program.
