I just came across an original HP box which says HP64000 release 3203.
It contains some manuals/docs and 2 tapes. Does anyone know what this is or
what it is for ?
If anybody wants it, its available, just make me an offer of some sort.
Ow its from 1992 btw.
Stefan.

The HP 64000 is a Logic Developement System. The name is a bit
misleading, it's actually a microcomputer developement system. The 64000s
are big brutes! The only peaple that I recall that collect them are Frank
McConnal and Dave somebody out in Texas. However somebody should grab these
manuals and preserve them since docs are always harder to find than the
hardware.

The OP mentioned that the items were from 1992. By then, the original
(big) 64000 development stations were out of production. They last appear
in the 1987 HP T&M catalog.
They were supplanted by the HP 64000-UX systems -- essentially a card cage
for the original 64000 cards, plus software that ran under HP-UX on HP 9000
systems. These units were later replaced by the HP 64700-series of
emulators and analyzers; only these appear in the 1992 T&M. The 64700
software ran on PCs and HP and Sun workstations.
So the OP's stuff may be either for the 64000-UX or 64700. I don't think
that HP was still producing updates for the big 64000 stations that late.
The only peaple that I recall that collect them are
Frank McConnal and
Dave somebody out in Texas.

Then you're Dave #2 because there is a Dave in Tx that collects them.

Some docs are already on Bitsavers : http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/hp/64000/
