That would be a fun and worthwhile project; I wish I had more
information about the MX-30 RAM and how it's different. Infotek
basically replaced every HP component (except the backplane) with the
MX-30, so it could be radically different than the original.
The HP Museum has some pretty good pictures, see here:
http://www.hpmuseum.net/exhibit.php?hwimg=1060. If you need something
more detailed, let me know and I can run them through my scanner (not
the feeder portion).

Alternately, if anyone needs an MX-30 board set
(sans memory) for a
restoration, drop me a line and maybe we can work something out. Hate to
sit on this forever and never get anything working...
I certainly don't *need*
one, and I'd be in the same boat w/ regard to
not being able to use it without the suitable memory. I'm thinking
about designing a new static RAM board for the 9830 for the 2015/07
retrochallenge. If all the MX-30 needs is memory that is faster than
the stock HP memory, it's possible that a new static RAM board might
work.
I'd be very interested in high-resolution photos or scans of both
sides of both boards.
