We currently have no more information about this Honeywell 716 panel. The 716 computer was the last of the 16 Series, being 16-Bit machines. The Honeywell DDP-116 was the first 16-Bit computer commercially available. Documentation mentions of the 716 being part of a System 700 computer.

Sergio Izquierdo Garcia has written a very good System Description along with a large collection of Photos from his own Honeywell 716 system. Click Here to see the system.

I have one of these units and would love to know more about it
