According to the Computers and Automation census, the first delivery of the
440 T/S was Jul, 69. After the sale, it shows up in the census under Honeywell
as the G440 T/S. It's a pretty rare machine. It dissappears in Mar '72 with no
known installations.

I'd have to do more research to see if the 400-series was still

I checked and I don't have anything on the Honeywell 440 or anything like a
re-branded Honeywell sold by GE. I think that the name "General Electric"

If you have a HP 9895 and a HP-IB adapter for a PC, you can use the HPDIR
software to read the files.
http://hp9845.net/9845/projects/hpdir/
Another way to read the files is using a HP 9845B/T or C and transfer the
files through a HP 98036A or 98046A serial interface.
