Hi Iggy,
I don't think it was upgraded. I have the 310, the lowest in the
series - the one with the 68010 CPU. My box also says "HP 9000 300", not
"310". There is hardware information at:
http://www.blobulent.com/hp300/FAQ/rossspon/hp300faq.htm
Just today I completed this system by finding an HP-IB cable in the
trash. I started with the box, which has video, serial and HP-IB. Then I
found an HP-IB drive unit. Then came a monitor that had the requisite BNC
connectors, and then some BNC cabling. The ROM on bootup reports its
version, the CPU, and the addresses of interfaces. Have not tried the
drive yet.
Good luck,
Edwin

found that it had a 68040. I thus deducted that it must
be a 9000/380. Has
this machine been upgraded, or did HP simply not bother to identify their
machines any closer than the series (in this case 9000/300)?
The machine starts up and beeps a little. It's got not drives installed, but
there's a 50-pin "Centronics" connector marked SCSI/FS-HPIB. What is
FS-HPIB?
Fast Speed - HP-IB???
Doesn't sound like anything I'd like to feed
into my SCSI devices.
