Aficionados;
I'm interested in acquiring an HP1000 A900, in any form-factor.
(http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=594)
Basic need would be a chassis/backplane/PS and minimal set of
CPU/memory/HPIB-controller/terminal-IO PCA, however I'd be interested in
simply acquiring a PCA-set and I'll work the chassis/backplane/PS
separately. Even single PCAs would give me a helpful push forwards.
And I need to stick to my hobby (beer") budget.
I'm located in Maryland, USA, and pretty sure that the cost of overseas
shipping would be ghastly for a chassis. But maybe not as bad for the tower
configuration as for the rack-mount.
If I understand correctly, the CPU consists of:
12201A A900 Sequencer Card
12202A A900 Data Path Card
12203A A900 Cache Controller
12204A A900 Memory Controller
12220A 768KB RAM (Or I presume 12103D 1MB, 12221A 3 MB, or 12221B 8 MB.)
I imagine that I'll need to synthesize my own OTT "frontplane" for the
memory.
12009A HP-IB Controller
12040D Asynchronous Multiplexer interface board
Thank you for your insights, and opportunities (I hope),
paul
