They could have cartridge tape drives in them too, do they? 9144 is an HP cartridge tape drive. A 3000 in that sort of cabinet is probably a Series 37 or Micro 3000, a little departmental system good for about eight terminals. Should have a key for the front panel and I hope it's there because fabricating it could be a problem (it is a small metal strip with indentations drilled in but not through its larger faces). 300LPM printer, could be serial or HP-IB or maybe parallel (with a 50-pin telco connector) though I only remember the parallel on its bigger faster cousins. If serial, it would be usable with other things; I think it speaks something like PCL but certainly not the PCL of the many-DPI printers. Used to use one as a remote serial printer hung off a 3000 and it was very reliable. I'm not quite SoCal (a little bit north of San Jose) and won't be able to make it down there for a little while. Plus IDDD (I Don't Do DEC) and so don't have any of the stuff you're interested in for a swap. Also I have two 3000/37s of my own. So I won't be hurt if someone else gets 'em, in fact that's part of the reason I am writing this message, to help other folks down there figure out what this stuff is. -Frank McConnell
