Hi Mark,
Have you ever replaced the TOD clock battery in your 917? The follow-on 918
had a field replaceable battery, but the 917 had one soldered onto the
motherboard.
*Very* nice system. I had one for a while and they are a great hobbyist box.

  I've just listed my complete HP-3000 system on
eBay here.  This is an
 HP-3000 917LX system with:
 Disks: (2) 2GB drive (possibly RAID, but I'm not sure)
 Tape: (2) DAT (built-in and external)
 16-port terminal concentrator
 12-port Ethernet hub
 Terminals (2) HP 700/96 + one 700/92 that probably doesn't work
 Line-printer 300 LPM with stand, ribbons, and paper
 Dot-matrix printers (2) with ribbons
 All cables
 MPE/iX, ASK/ManMan, QUERY, TurboIMAGE
 FORTRAN
 Documentation (50+ pounds, including all service and upgrade records)
 It all works perfectly (as of two days ago).  There's a possibility that I
 might deliver it if you're near Portland OR or the San Francisco Bay area,
 or off the I-5 in between; otherwise it's local pickup only (in either
 location).  It's listed for $2600 buy-it-now, or a starting bid of $2000,
 but if you're really interested email with an offer and we'll see what can
 be worked out...
