I just found one of these in a load of scrap. It appears to be similar to the HP 9000
200 and 300 series computers and uses the same DIO cards but also has a built in CRT and
floppy and hard disk drives. It's designed to be rack mounted and it's supposed to
have a fold down keybaord but the keyboard is missing on this one. Fortunately the unit
uses a HP-HIL keyboard socket so I can plus in a regular HP_HIL keyboard. Has anyone here
used one of these? Are they supposed to show a list of installed memory and interfaces
when they power up like the 9000 200s do? I'm not getting any display on the CRT but I
can see the sweep and retraace lines on the CRT when I turn the brightness all the way up
so the CRT is working. The hard drive light illuminates for several seconds then the
floppy drive accesses for a split second so the system seems to be working but still
don't get any display on the screen.
