Looks like the message was eaten.
The pdf is on bitsavers for you to take a look at.
CHM hasn't issued a press release about it since we're still doing things
like trying to convert the interleaf formatted manuals to pdfs and are organizing
what we have.
What HP actually donated was materal from about the last 10 years of the product's
life (RTE-A, mostly). The earlier code is coming from other holdings.

Are there any RTE-A binaries available for hobby use? I just acquired
an apparently functional HP-1000 / A900 but have no software to try
running on it.
I can connect to the 12040 MUX interface as the VCP console, but none
of the 12040 manuals I have found contain programming information on
the 12040 so even trying to get HP-IPL/OS running would be a
challenge. The manuals have programming information for the 12005
serial interface, but I don't have one of those in this system.

Glen,
Do you have a disc with RTE on it ?
Or do you have 'nothing' ?
I've a HP 1000 600A+ with RTE-A VC+ on it .
The manuals you can download from the Hpmuseum website www.hpmuseum.net
You need minimal one HP-IB disc to get it running.
To install RTE-A you need a tape unit like a 9144A or 9145A or a floppy
drive like a HP9121/22.
It is possible to create binary images from the tapes or disc's using a
DOS-PC with HP-IB card installed and a program called LIFDIAG.EXE
Some time ago I wrote a paper how to crack the passwords of a RTE-A
installation.
At the moment I'm busy with the house, but within a few weeks I should be
able to dig up my RTE-A tapes.
The boot string for a HP-IB drive is : %BDC27BSYSXX XX=is the number of the
system file.
You could try just : %BDC27 but then it uses the first available boot file.

Rik,
The A900 system has a couple of 12009A HPIB interfaces. The system
didn't come with any drives but I have have a few HPIB drives and
floppies I could connect to it. I currently don't have any HPIB tape
drives.
Do you have original installation tapes, or backup tapes created from
an already installed OS?
I did find your paper on cracking into RTE-A if you don't have the
password and downloaded several of the manuals from www.hpmuseum.net
already.
