An HP 9000/H20 is a 48 MHz PA-RISC system, also known

It's got a very small cache (64 KB data, 64 KB code).
I'd guess it's valued in the $1000 to $2000 range. I picked up an E55 (twice
as fast) for $400 in 1999...but that was a really good price.
OTOH, if you want to part it out, I'd be interested in some of
the memory for an HP 3000/927 I just got.
While we're on the topic...I recently picked up an HP9000 model I70
(dual 96Mhz PA-RISC processors) and it's got some sort of funky
multi-serial-port card (16 ports) in it that terminates in a huge D-shell
connector. From what little info I've been able to find online, it
seems that the console I/O goes to one of the serial lines on that
board. Alas, I don't have any cables/breakout boxes/etc to connect to
that board. Can someone here tell me what I need to find to talk to
the console of this box? Even some pinouts of that big connector
might help. Thanks!
