If that's what I think it is, a HP 9000 520, then it's a real find. They
seem to be very rare. I have one but it doesn't work.
Does it work? Is it the color version? (To self: I don't need any more
projects, I don't need any more projects....)

We've got a T500. It's a huge grey Unix box, about the size of two 19"
6' cabs. Ours has six processors on it (@ 60MHz I think) and a GB of
memory, along with a shed-load of disk.
Nice enough system for museum display (wonderfully made), and can still
do some useful work in terms of demos etc, but probably of less use to a
home collector due to space versus wow-factor.

Ok, it's not what I was thinking of then. The 520 is a big desktop
calculator that runs Unix. AFIK it was the last big desktop machine that HP
made. It was the replacement for the HP 9845.

I presume he has a T500...no color involved. It's a big cabinet. It
was the followon
to the HP9000/890. The T500 was followed by the T520 and later the
T600. We have a
T600 still in production. 12 CPU's (160mhz PA-8000) and 3.25G memory.
A T500 is big and eats a lot of power. Nice toy though. I don't
really have the power
for one of them. :-(
