The HP 3000 Series 33 also used the Amigo protocol.
The Computer History Museum recently got an Amigo, and
Ken Sumrall,
Stan Sieler, and I would like to run it someday. Anybody got docs
(beyond what's already on bitsavers) or software?
I have the HP Journals that described the 300:
June 1979
A Business Computer for the 1980s
The Integrated Display System and Terminal Access Method
Reducing the Cost of Program Development
Managing Data: HP 300 Files and Data Bases
An Easy-to-Use Report Generation Language
HP 300 Business BASIC
Innovative Package Design Enhances HP 300 Effectiveness
July 1979
Cost-Effective Hardware for a Compact Integrated Business Computer
A Computer Input/Output System Based on the HP Interface Bus
A Small, Low-Cost 12-Megabyte Fixed Disc Drive
An Innovative Programming and Operating Console
AMIGO/300: A Friendly Operating System
Configuring and Launching the AMIGO/300 System
A Multiple-Output Switching Power Supply for Computer Applications
Don't know how much help they'd be, though.
