Joe, the machine model is 9000/375. The CPU module is a 98574 which has the
"L" board with the 50 MHz 68030 and 68882 FPU and a big heap of other logic
on it.
If it means anything, the main board p/n is 98574-69511 with rev C artwork
and another sticker next to it has C-3130 on it, which is in the format of
certain part numbers used by HP.
The "L" board is 98574-66512 rev A.
There are two A-3110-56 RAM modules totaling 8 meg.
I would certainly be interested in a copy of said manual if you have it!
There seems to be nothing, documentation-wise, on these machines available
anywhere else from what I can see. As I had offered before, the manuals
could be scanned and put on Al's bitsavers.org site for all to use.
Thanks again.

Another important question is whether this machine can be made y2k
compliant?
I'm pretty certain that it is, even the HP 9836 (aka 9000 236) was Y2K
compliant. (the battery backup and clock were optional).
I had to replace the 3V lithium coin cell on the main CPU board
and the machine prompted for a date/time upon
bootup. Wouldn't take
anything above 99 so I set it at 95, exactly 10 years in the past. Date
entry is in the form of MMDDhhmm[yy]. When 05 is entered for yy the date
always displays as 1970. Seems 70 to 99 only work.
That's interesting! Maybe it's NOT Y2K compliant. I'll try to look and
see if I have a manual for this machine that covers the clock. What model
exactly is it?
