We have the only 9000/840 still running (at least 24/7), it belongs
to the university since it has been donated from HP in 1987 (and it
is practically running since then!). It includes 24MB RAM, a 7978
tape drive, several 9144 cartridge drives and several 7933/7935
disk drives, although the system is currently running from SCSI
disks (under the terminal). I have a complete spare board set
(includes I/O, CPU and memory boards), too. The 9122 floppy drive
has been moved to the HP1000.
Wow...beautiful!!

Hey PA-RISC aficionados. Was there in fact a
production PA-
RISC machine whose CPU was implemented with standard TTL chips?
If so, which one, and does anyone have one that they'd like to
trade away?
I doubt that there are many around. I know someone who has one,
but he intends to donate it to the Computer History Museum. (Or
maybe he already has done so.)
