Hi Iggy,
I don't think it was upgraded. I have the 310, the lowest in the
series - the one with the 68010 CPU. My box also says "HP 9000 300", not
"310". There is hardware information at:
http://www.blobulent.com/hp300/FAQ/rossspon/hp300faq.htm
I've wgetted (wgot?) that FAQ already, very useful. =)
Just today I completed this system by finding an
HP-IB cable in the
trash. I started with the box, which has video, serial and HP-IB. Then I
found an HP-IB drive unit. Then came a monitor that had the requisite BNC
connectors, and then some BNC cabling. The ROM on bootup reports its
version, the CPU, and the addresses of interfaces. Have not tried the
drive yet.
Hmm, perhaps I should have picked up some of those free HP-IB cables now that
I think of it. I have a friend who's got a double HP brand 3,5" drive (those
drives are really vintage!) with what seems like a HPIB interface. Or is that
GPIB? I'm blissfully ignorant regarding those systems.
As for BNC monitors, I haven't got any, but I came up with a solution which
might work: I've got several VGA->BNC cables, and with a gender changer, it
should plug into the male end of a VGA monitor. =)
At least as long as it supports SOG (sync on green)...
So tell me, how does a 310 feel? I was quite relieved to find that I had a
380, but I suppose a 310 could be a quaint experience as well.
