Can it really be so that some (older) Honeywell FMSs do not have a fly-over waypoint option? So in a SID for instance, you have to use heading mode in order not to make an early turn for a fly-over waypoint?

What if it is automatically on SIDs/STARs (but invisible on the legs page) - can it be sleected for any waypoint in SID, STAR or enroute?

I remember something about adding /0 or /O to a waypoint name to toggle fly-over or fly-by, but I cannot find anything about it in the manual.

Thank you for your help on this

Yes, it really can be so. Adding /0 or /O to a waypoint will only give you a "NOT IN DATABASE". Your database vendor can create these "hard" WPTs where required in a procedure but crew cannot.
