The 645 was a transistor machine and was reworked as an integrated circuit machine, the GE-655. The 655 was rebranded as the Honeywell 6000 series. I am not sure of the evolution path of the 635 to the 60xx; ie. if GE had an IC version of the 635 and what it was called, or it the 655 came with a non-Multics support version. -- Charles I can confirm this, GE's original Multics intro document, they refer to the GE 645. "A New Remote Accessed Man Machine System" is the title of the document. They describe it there and compare with some other systems, evolution etc.. Interesting. I have seen online.
