Thanks, Jochen. I'm on the hunt for an HIL keyboard and mouse, and some
more RAM!
It seems to me that there is precious little information about for the 1) I have the HIL-PS/2 adapter (HP calls is the
"keyboard adapter
module"), but it doesn't plug in to the HIL port on the machine.
There is a descending piece of plastic on the right side of the
10P10C connector that blocks it. I know that this adapter was made
for the
9000/700 PA-RISC workstations, will it work with the 375, if I remove
that tab?
No. No way. That litle box from the 715 machines is just a break out
box. It breaks out the different pins of the 10P10C connector to the
PS/2 keyboard / mouse and the HIL connector. There is no PS/2 => HIL
protocol converter in it. It is not a HIL device. compared to some of it's contemporaries,
especially the Sun 3/Sun 4
series.

If you look at bitsavers or at the hp computer museum site you could come to
the conclusion there's a lot of info on the HP 9000 300 series.
