I have a HP 9000/300 68000 with an extra processor
card.
I was surprised when I pulled the processor card from the machine and
discovered a 68030 CPU.
I was shocked I didn't remember that card.
Looking for software, I checked bitsavers, but only located a Pascal
compiler.
Does this machine have any interesting (O/S) software freely available?
Are their any list members playing with this machine?
Is it possible to boot from the GPIB?
I'm behind a dial-up wall and I was hoping to save some bandwidth before
downloading the manuals.
I have an HP 9000/350 and it boots from a hard disk connected over HP-IB
into HP-UX. They are very nice machines.
NetBSD has an hp300 port, but for historical purposes I prefer to run
HP-UX. You can run up to 9.x on them (10.0 required PA-RISC).
