Roger,
I got ahold of **seven** HP 64000s a couple of years ago but I found
that they were useless (no pods, etc) and I couldn't even give them away so
I stripped them for parts and tossed the rest(1). However I keep finding
bits and pieces for them including accessories, manuals and software.
Therefore I've been keeping an open box around that I throw the stuff in
and when it fills up I pack it up and ship it to Frank McConnell since he's
the only one around that seems to be interested in the stuff. I picked up a
64110 or 64110 last year and it's around here somewhere waiting for me to
do something with it. I think it has a 68000 pod attached to it. Also I
found a guy nearby that has a pile of docs and software for the 64xx0s. He
doesn't want to get rid of it but if you're looking for something specific
I can try to look it up or copy the appropriate info.
(1) Of course the week after I tossed the 64000s. I found that the CRTs
were the same as the one that I needed to fix my HP 9835 with! :-(

Well, assuming (of course) that there might be some new

this list...
Does anyone have anything (disks, info, manuals, proggies, peripherals, I
mean anything) for a Hewlett Packard 64000 system?
I purchased one of these late last summer (it has a QIC tape drive & an
Eprom burner, but methinks the burner only supports 2708's & 2716's) and it
passes diagnostics, but I think they were hooked up in network mode & it
was netbooted... so I really can't do much of anything with it right now...
Here's a list of the boards I have in it, and other specifics:
Hp 64100A mainframe
sn# 2033a01075
2 rs232c ports
(to modem/to peripheral)
current loop
4 bnc ports
300 w. Power supply
internal:
slot a: (red) i/o
slot b: (white) dspl ctrl
slot c: (blue) cpu
slot 0: 64940a (tape)
slot 1: 64501a (prom)
slot 2: (empty)
slot 3: (empty)
slot 4: (empty)
slot 5: (empty)
slot 6: 64153a (mem.16k)
slot 7: 64151a (mem.con)
slot 8: 64300a (int.anl)
(internal analysis)
slot 9: 64211a (em 6800)
The board in slot 9 is a Motorola 6800 emulator, so you can crossassemble
6800 ML proggies & burn them to an eprom... We used these in concert with
the Heathkit 6800-based trainers (one of which I'm still looking for...)
back in college.
Webpages, FAQ's, any info at all about this critter would be most
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
