Tim Aanerud did a pretty good series on Honeywell Inertial Reference Systems 
several months ago.  These have been preserved in the Aeronautics Digest 
archives on rascal.ics.utexas.edu.  They can be retrieved via anonymous ftp 
(login="anonymous", password="guest").  The digests to look for are 2.27,
2.35, 2.37, and 2.38.  

Note that all the files are COMPRESSED (.Z suffix), and must thus be 
transferred with the binary flag set on ftp (just type "Binary").

Many, many more things have been saved in the aero archives; one of these
days, I'll build an index for them. :-)
