No, but it's like my 715, so I have 'some clue'
need to know what sort of KB it uses, it looks like a
funky RJ-45 ish KB
It's called HPIL I think .. HP Interface loop. You can find these on eBay
of from collectors that have excess stock :).
connection :( also, what OS' are supported on
this machine? biggest Hard
NetBSD, Linux, and HP-UX should all work.
Drive, etc..... and where can I find an OS for this
machine???
It uses narrorow scsi-2, so that shouldn't be an issue, except for booting
perhaps. I know some Sun systems have bugs that prevent booting off a
partition past the 1G or 2G mark on the drive, there may be a similar
thing here.
Memory is a bit funky if I remember correctly, not 'standard' SIMMS.
There's some more info on HP's PA-RISC systems over here:
