Hi,
I've seen a HP7911P computer for sale on the 'net, anybody
know anything about it or that series, like what kind of
processor it has, etc.? It looks to be fairly big (i.e.
bigger than a desktop PC, smaller than a mainframe unit).
Any info welcome!
Hi Alex,
Well, this is only a hard disk drive with a 1/4" tape drive. Capacity is
around 28 Mb.
There is a Z80 used inside as the controller (if the unit is like my 7912P)
but it certainly cannot be used as a 'computer'. Has HPIB/GPIB (aka
IEEE488) interface.
And yes, it's big. About 30" tall, about a foot wide, maybe 30" deep.
Probably around 100 lbs or more, again, if it's like my 7912P.
Hope this helps you.
Regards, Chris
