There was an HP3000/922 at MSU Salvage today, with what looked like
a disk cabinet (similar size and shape to the processor cabinet)
and some cables. No idea whether any of it works. No apparent
software or manuals. I may grab it on Friday if it's still there.
If it didn't sell today it should be safe until then, as that's the
next public sale day.
If anyone wants this thing, let me know. I have little enough time
and spare cubic volume in my life without adopting machines I know
nothing about. Someone who already loves this family would make it
a better home.

I could be interested in this one, not sure. Does anyone know where there's
a picture of this model online? I can't seem to google one.

After having picked up this machine, disassembled, cleaned, moved 3
floors, reassembled, and turned on, the computer and disks all appear
to work fine. I've been able to log in as MANAGER.SYS and poke around,
though it appears to have been cleaned off fairly well. Anyone happen to
have pointers to (or the real thing) documentation for this machine,
and/or install media images so I can get this beast back running
at full steam again? From what I can tell, it has a broken install of
MPE/iX 6.0 or so. I'm pretty sure that DDS or CD images would work for
this, as it has SE-SCSI and I've read that it will happily boot devices
attached there. Hopefully some pictures as soon as I can borrow a
digital camera.

My understanding is that install images are heavily customized per
machine
at the secret HP MPE bunker, although someone will surely correct me if
wrong. A CSLT would be the best install image, but you obviously don't
have one.

No, they're *much* less customized than on most machines.
Indeed, one should be able to boot just about any PA-RISC
HP 3000 from a CSLT made from any other PA-RISC HP 3000 ...
although you might have know enough to get past radical
differences in I/O configuration (which is possible to do!) :)
That said, "CSLT" stands for "Customized System Load Tape" ...
so you might be getting software you (a) don't want;
and (b) didn't pay for.
