Yes, it's core based, and the cpu is entirely hardwired. I don't have my old
HP catalog around at the moment, but off the top of my head an approximate
year of introduction would be 1967. Somewhere I saw a list saying the 2116
was the first, followed by the 2115, then the 2114. I don't have any firm
evidence to contradict that, but from what I know about the machine
architectures and features and such I would be inclined to suspect that the
order was 2114, 2115, 2116 instead. Don't know for sure.

Wow...that is a *lot* of hardware. A lot of very fun-looking hardware.
I assume the machine is core-based? When were these systems sold?
