This is a *very* nice entry-level HP3000/MPE system based on PA-RISC
architecture. But one note - the 917 had the soldered TOD battery on the
motherboard, vs. the FRU TOD battery in the later 918. Not a reason to skip
if you are interested in this machine.

Hi,
A friend tells me that there is a Hewlett-Packard HP3000/917LX available in
Vacaville (no word as to price, but I suspect it's free ... the owner wants
it to go to a good home). Reportedly running, with additional "mini-tower"
(PC size or less) of external disks, a DTC (Distributed Terminal
Controller, lets you have up to 32 RS232 terminals attached (depending upon
model of DTC)), and an external tape drive (probably DDS, but I don't know
for sure).
If interested, email me at sieler at
allegro.com and I'll put you in touch
with
the friend of the Vacaville guy.
thanks,
Stan
