Hey Guys,
I have a really nice 3000/37 along with the original MPE/V install tapes.
It's been quite a few years since I played with the /37 so, I'm not even
sure if it would power up.
I just found the original 9-track tape that says "MPE/V RELEASE 3P FOS Tape
For the HP3000 P/N 32033-10452 Rev G.3P.00 DATE CODE 3419". It is in SYSDUMP
format which (I think) means that it is bootable. IIRC "FOS" stands for File
Operating system. I also have a tape labeled "SUBSYS TAPE". IIRC, that tape
has the "subsystems" like fortran, cobol, basic, etc...
Will this OS run on the GX?
Are those tapes all that is needed to set up the machine?
Who exaclty is looking for the tapes?
Do you have a bootable 9 track drive?
Are you willing to pay shipping and return the tapes when done?
If so, send me a message and we might be able to work something out.

Oh. :-( That's just plain depressing.
