My latest HP2000/Access TSB system build came to life today. Pictures at:

There is still a lot of "cosmetic work" before I'm satisfied with it. Some
detail
parts need to be added, some additional cleaning and
cable dressing, etc.
All the
doors, filler panels, and some trim needs to be put
back in place. This
system has
passed extended (overnight) diagnostics on every
board, microcode option,
and
peripheral.
There is an issue with the 7906D - it works ok, but there is some
occasional
bearing noise. I have another 7906D sitting there
ready to rackmount but I
was
so close I just couldn't wait for that and had to
fire it up and load the
OS. The
29425D cabinet is opened up only because I was poking
at it to check for
the
source of the noise.
Unlike my dual 2100A/S TSB system, this one is destined for some
development
work and I'll be adding a small (read low power)
tape/disk combo, a
"flash"
based paper tape reader/punch, and some baci boards
which TSB doesn't
support ("currently" cough cough). The only item that needs to be added is
the
dual sync modem board set. yes, I'm going to do
HP2000/Access RJE to
Hercules
;)

Jay,
Nice work, looks great.
Keep up the good work, like they say ;)
