DTSS on a GE-6?5

I have read several things (including The Rise and Fall of the General Electric Corporation Computer Department) which assert that DTSS was later moved to a -645, but that is very probably incorrect. On the other hand, King of the Seven Dwarfs: General Electric’s Ambiguous Challenge to the Computer Industry, by H. R. Oldfield, says (on pg. 214) it was moved to a -625! I think both of these are wrong, it was (I think) a -635. Kemeny and Kurtz, "Back to BASIC", say (pg. 23) that it was a -635. Jnc (talk) 01:25, 25 January 2024 (CET)

Searching the dartmouth.edu site, I see many hits for 635, but nothing about DTSS on a 625 or 645.
https://www.cs.cornell.edu/wya/AcademicComputing/text/dtss.html says "In 1978, DTSS was running on a Honeywell 66/40 computer".
