Josh, It is not as bad as you think. You could for example use a DEC h742, with associated regulator bricks, to power the h316. Most are ok as is. Exception being the h316 needs a 6v line. You could tweak a h744 voltage regulator to put out 6v rather than 5, by using the built-in h744's voltage adjustment potentiometer. In short look to digital equipm stuff, esp. the pdp11 power supplies as there are some close to what a Honeywell h316 needs. Yes I looked into all of this when considering bidding on the h316, I always wanted one of these. I have a lot of the docs Bill Degnan twitter: billdeg vintagecomputer.net
