Perhaps, but I'm not an HP expert. I _do_ recall an HP CRT with LEDs

I have one of the screen bezels, but not the HP machine it goes with.
Someday, I think about dusting it off and trying to get it to work,
but I haven't managed to find the time yet.
I have a Perkin-Elmer workstation (7350?) that has
a dual-68K bus-fault
recovery design... running System III UNIX.
(it) has the curious feature of "soft buttons" built into the monitor's
frame...
Didn't HP have a 68K box that had buttons around the crt? Sort of a
poor-man's touchpanel? totally Off-T:
You replied before I sent the message. Are you playing with alien junk
you found out at the site the Norwegians blew up?
Shh.... ;-)
