Good question. Let me check the CPU a moment...
One A1416A board
One HP 98574 board with... TWO memory chips
Just by the way... What is the 34 connector in the HP 98574 board ?
Maybe a floppy connector ?
I don't have a HP catalog any more so I'm not sure what a 98574 is but if
it's a video card then the connector is probably for a daughter baord with more video
RAM. That's pretty common on the HPs. I DOUBT that it's for a floppy drive even if
it's not on the video card.

My 380 has an
A1416A Kathmandu (a.k.a. Color VRX) (1280x1024 @ 60 hz, 8
bits, DIO-II). It has 3 BNC sync on green output, you'll need either an
adapter to a VGA monitor or a monitor with 3 BNC.
Where can I locate one adapter to a VGA monitor ? I don't have actually one
3 BNC
connectors monitor.
Any null-modem cable to a peasea set to 9600,8N1
should work. Note,
however, that the serial console (vs the graphics head/HIL keyboard) is
selected by a firmware command. The commands can be entered blindly
without
a monitor attached, but a HP-HIL keyboard *MUST*
be used if it is not set
to
a serial console already.
Aha. If I understand you, I need to do the swap with one HP-HIL keyboard.
Can I use the serial console for input/output once I do the swap, or I must
use ever the HP-HIL keyboard ?
Just by the way... What's about one HP-IB terminal ? You can find some more info on the page for the
hp300 port of NetBSD,
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/hp300, and Jim Conrad may have some parts
avaliable, you can find his original post in the classiccmp archives,
http://www.classiccmp.org.
I shall try to locate his address, of course.
(Of
course I accept all reasonable offer from somebody in Europe. This
includes
one GPIO board)
How many RAM boards are installed? Same for one EIGHT dip-switches bank in the A1416A
board.
Thanks and Greetings
