HP2000 availability/nomenclature

Alas, it's not available for login yet. I got it up for a short period of time - started loading some basic programs into the library, then the memory section in the IOP shot craps. Unfortunately, testing out the memory subsystem even with board swapping is a very long and painfull process. I just haven't gotten back to it yet. Soon as I get around to finding the problem with the memory subsystem and fixing it, then the system will be up. Also, in a subsequent email steve robertson had mentioned "Drug home two more HP1000s (first cousin to the 2000) last wekend". Remember.. there was no such computer (CPU) as an HP2000 technically. There was the 21mx line (m/e/f/k), the 2100A, the 2100S, and 2114/2115/2116. No such thing as a 2000 "computer". There was of course an "hp 2000 computer system", but the 2000 designation referred to a particular lashup of hardware and software that would run TSB. Some hp2000 systems used 2100 cpus, some used 21MX's, etc. etc. I'm not sure what you mean by "first cousin" to the 2000, for the obvious reason mentioned above, plus... the HP1000 series of computers came out many years after the marketing label "hp2000 computer system" was put into play. Maybe I'll spend next week running diags on the memory system and swapping boards & slots on the 2100S to see if I can isolate the problem.

Saw some posts back in August that Jay got his 2000 up and running, just wondering if it was available to for a guest to login and reminisce. Thanks! Mike
