What's needed for a minimal HP-1000 series E/(F?) system?

Boy, am I full of questions lately. If there's a good guide for this, please point me to it... I now have in my possession an HP-1000F system I got in trade and a mostly empty HP-1000E system I've had for awhile but haven't done anything with, because, well, it's mostly empty. The 1000F (2117F) has the following installed: Front: DCPC slot - D.C.P.C board 111 - Memory Protect 112 - M.E.M. . . . 121 - 64K HSM 122 - 64K HSM 123 - MEM CNTLR (cabled to 122 & 121 on left-side connector via ribbon cable) Rear: 10 - F.E.M. 12 - BACI 14 - BUS I/O The 1000E (2113E) is empty aside from the power-supply & mainboard and a single F.E.M. card in slot 10. The F.E.M. is cabled to the main board via a ribbon cable (this ribbon cable is not present on the 1000F). I assume this machine isn't going to do much as it is. Is the above enough to get a minimal system running (i.e. to allow toggling in programs via the front panel and testing the system?) Is there anything I need to know about how the cards need to be configured/cabled together? My understanding is that the F-series has some kind of floating-point support, but it's also my understanding that such support was provided via an external expansion, which I do not have. Since I don't have this expansion, will the 1000F work at all, or should I move the cards I have to the E? (Minus the F.E.M., I assume...) I probably won't have time to play with this right away, but I'm curious to know what else I'll need to get one of these machines going... Thanks, Josh
