The 64000 and 64100 are very different machines.
Please elaborate.
Quoting from the "HP 64000 Logic Development System Selection and
Configuration Guide" (July 1985):
NUMBERING SYSTEM
Following is a breakdown of the 64000 System Numbering scheme. The
product line is 64XXX in which XXX is:
001-099: Mainframe Options
100-149: Mainframes
150-169: Emulation Memory and Controllers
190-299: Emulation Modules
300-350: Internal Analyzers
500-530: PROM Programmers
600-620: Timing Analysis
630 : State Probes
650-799: State Preprocessors
810-830: Compilers
840-859: Assemblers
930-939: Special Support Services
940-959: Field Installed Mainframe Options

980-999: Manual Sets

DEFINITIONS
DEVELOPMENT STATION: The HP64000 station; model numbers 64100A and
64110A.
My understanding (from owning two since 1985) is that the "HP 64000" is a
product line. The development station mainframes (desktop, portable) are
models 64100A and 64110A, respectively.
(This is analogous to the "HP 1000," which is a system. The actual CPU box
carries its own model number, e.g., 2108B for an M-Series with the upgraded
power supply and nine I/O slots, or 2109E for the equivalent E-Series. "HP
1000" wasn't an orderable product number, at least according to the "HP
1000 Computer Systems Ordering Guide," 5953-8773D, February 1986.)
