Really? Has media for 2000B been found? I was only
aware of the
existence of copies of 2000C, 2000E, 2000F, and 2000/Access. I never
used 2000A or 2000B, but I think it would be neat to be able to try them
out.
Back when I was in junior high (around 1977-1979), Jefferson County
School District in Colorado had a 2000C' (aka "High Speed 2000C") system
and a 2000/Access system. The fixed-head disc on the 2000C' broke, and
though it was under a service contract, HP couldn't fix it. Instead
they upgraded the system to a 2000F and gave the district more
moving-head disc drives.
