Thanks Al and Cameron,
I tried to put together a full system in 2000, but wacky willies was
asking $50 US for the GPIB hard disk.
That now seems pretty cheap.Unless you're trying to sell it.
The system contains 4 MB on a mezzanine and 2 X 1 MB cards. It looks
like it was used for something interesting,
It also contains a floating point board. Is that useful in a 030 setup?
Unfortunately, No SCSI or other I/O
I don't remember if the 030 board was in the original configuration,
so the FP board would figure into a 68K solution.

I have a HP
9000/300 68000 with an extra processor card.
I was surprised when I pulled the processor card from the machine and
discovered a 68030 CPU.
I was shocked I didn't remember that card.
Looking for software, I checked bitsavers, but only located a Pascal
compiler.
Does this machine have any interesting (O/S) software freely available?
Are their any list members playing with this machine?
Is it possible to boot from the GPIB?
I'm behind a dial-up wall and I was hoping to save some bandwidth before
downloading the manuals.
I have an HP 9000/350 and it boots from a hard disk
connected over HP-IB
into HP-UX. They are very nice machines.
NetBSD has an hp300 port, but for historical purposes I prefer to run
HP-UX. You can run up to 9.x on them (10.0 required PA-RISC).
