Well, good news & bad news from the weekend regarding the HP1000's. First, the good news: I've confirmed that both CPUs are in working order, and they both have 4 bootloader ROMs. Testing went little further than this, because: a) I couldn't make it read from the disk, either because the interconnect is wrong, or I'd got my MAC address wrong, or hadn't done something required by the bootloader ROM, or don't have a disk bootloader. I tried all four ROMs, but no visible life from the disk. 'course, not having a terminal to plug in didn't help... b) The bad news - both 'A' and 'B' machine cabinet PSUs failed (with a distinct smell of Magic White Smoke about them), causing the supply ELCB to trip. I'm unsure as to whether it's the fan, or the PSU which caused the problem (the fan sounded pretty bad). The individual internal components (CPU, mem extender, etc.) are all fine, so surgery will be simple. However, I suspect the cause is damp, so I'm not going to fix & power up again until summer and/or I get the paraffin heater working again. And now, the s/w which came with the machine. All of this is on 1600bpi tape: KEY: Format of tape in square brackets, where none, either unknown or I forgot to write it down p/n = part number R. = Rev.

Three which looked interesting I wrote down: BASELINE MASTER SYSGEN MASTER ESS BASELINE MASTER BACKUP Also, 3 with just HP numbers: HP 2213F00180 HP 2213F01585 HP 1940F00102 Any info on what the latter three might be would be most useful. -- Cheers, Ade.
