I picked up an HP 9000/300 w/cabinet this week that I was told works,
but know nothing (yet) about it. The 9000/300 has four modules in it;
98625B, 98550A, HPIB/RS-232/HP-HIL/Audio/other connectors, and an
unmarked module. Included in the cabinet are the HP9144, 9122C, and
92628 w/two 152 MB HDs. I wasn't able to find the RGB monitor but will
pick it up at some point. It also included the keyboard and I do have
the root password. Since I dont' really know much about HP equipment, is
this a worthwhile system to play with?

This is the high-speed HPIB module for mass storage if I recall

You don't mention the number in the cpu board, or the processor and
memory in it. But the cards included suggest one of the better
series 300 models, perhaps a 370. I had one of those at one point:

The number for a 370 system board is 98579; mine

There should be a number in the board itself.

Nice amount of HD for the time. You could have HPUX 9.x and some
extra room for users.

Typical monitor models that work with the 98550A framebuffer:
98752A, 98754A, 98789A.

Yes. You can run netbsd on it or HPUX.
