I think what happened to me was that in about 1986 I
managed to buy an
old P850 minicomputer for \pounds 25.00 (it was sold as scrap). The front
panel (toggle switches and filament lamps) is beautiful, so I deceided to
have a go at repairing it. I learnt about how processors worked from that
machine (even though it's very unconventional!), and decided to grab any
other machines that I could and learn about those too.
Unconventional in what way? Is it novel?

I'm pretty sure some HP 9000-series Unix boxes have
HPIB disks, BTW...
The 9000/200 series certainly did. In fact, HPIB is the only built-in
interface I can recall there being in our 228.
