somewhere I have stuff on the hp 3000 micro processor that was in the 3000
series 30 and 33
it was silicon on sapphire.
would like even more info on it and also a few other examples of it. all
we have for a physical example is one in a block of resin that was a hp
presentation item. can not get to the leads inside to play with it and too
cute to hack up!

I was wondering how much information is around on the
microprocessors HP built in the late 70's/early 80's
I found some information on the MC2 in the Osborne processor
books from '79, and it appears an MC5 is used as the maint
processor in the HP3000 Series 44.
Anyone know what processor is used in the HP64000? One note
on Usenet claimed it was an Inmos part?
