the hp 3000 did not have as many things displayed as the 2100... only one
register.. and only on the series III or earlier, the later boxes were
pretty much butt ugly.
the novel thing we have here at the museum is the CE maintance panel for
the 3000.. it has every possible part of the machine displayed with lights
and you can also single step the beast with people logged on!
many mnay of my years were spent on the 3000 and we would like to get a hp
3000 for the museum here.
preferably close to Arizona but...... would buy one in new York even!
cash or trade! bring it on!
I have my tape set .....still!

Subject: HP3000 interest?
I think I may have heard someone mention, perhaps in
private email, that
the
HP3000 was a popular replacement for HP2000 TimeShared
BASIC systems. Is
this true? Did it have multiuser BASIC? Any other languages? Did you have
a
choice of different OS's on the same hardware? And
more importantly, did
any
of the 3000's have blinkenlights? :) I know
nothing about the 3000 stuff.
Curiousity biting me :)
