==Peripherals== The following peripherals were available for the 6000-Series machines in 1971.<ref name=Summary /> * '''Control console''', attached to the IOM, was a printer-keyboard that operated at 15 characters per second (cps). * '''DSS180 removable disk storage subsystem''' provided up to 18 drives using disks physically compatible with IBM 2316 disks used in the 2314.<ref>{{cite web |quote=DSS181 REMOVABLE DISK STORAGE SUBSYSTEM: Provides fairly rapid ... physically compatible with the IBM 2316 Disk Pack |title=70C 480 11_7209_Honeywell_Series_6000 11 7209 Honeywell |url=https://usermanual.wiki/Document/70C480117209HoneywellSeries6000.2970225882/help}}</ref> The disks were formatted to provide 384 six-bit characters per sector and 27,648,000 characters per pack. The average seek time was 34 milliseconds (ms) and data transfer rate was 416,000 cps. * '''DSS190 removable disk storage subsystem''' provided up to 16 drives using disks compatible with the IBM 3336-11 disk packs used in 3330-11 drives. The disks were formatted with variable-length sectors in multiples of 384 characters. One pack could hold up to 133,320,000 characters. The average access time was 30 ms and data transfer rate was 1,074,000 cps. * '''DSS270 disk storage subsystem''' provided up to 20 modules of head-per-track disk. Capacity per module was 15.3 million characters. Average access time was 26 ms, and maximum transfer rate was 333,000 cps. * '''DSS167 disk storage subsystem''' allowed up to eight online disk drives plus an offline spare. Per disk capacity was 15 million characters; average access time was 87.5 ms and data transfer rate was 208,000 cps. * '''DSS170 removable disk storage subsystem''' allowed up to eight online disk drives plus an offline spare. Per disk capacity was 27.5 million characters; average access time was 72.5 ms and data transfer rate was 416,000 cps. * '''Magnetic tape''' was available in a variety of models, all using open-reel Β½ inch [[magnetic tape]]. Various models could read and write seven-track or nine-track tape with densities from 200 bits per inch (bpi) to 1600 bpi at rates of 37.5 inches per second (ips) to 150 ips. The maximum transfer rate was 266 characters per second (cps). All models connected to the system through the IOM. * '''Line printers''' were the PRT300 train printer capable of printing at 1150 lines per minute (lpm) and the PRT201 at 1200 lpm. * '''Punched card''' equipment consisted of the CRZ201 card reader capable of reading up to 900 80-column cards per minute (cpm) and the CPZ201 card punch which could punch up to 300 80-column cards per minute.
