I'm back to try this again. I need a boot tape for a HP 3000
Micro GX machine. Does anyone have a working machine
or a tape. I can use almost any media. I had 2 list members
say they would help but they seem to be too busy and its
been 6 months. I would really like to get this going.
Thanks, Jerry

What exactly do you need? I have an HP 3000 927 (I believe, I need to
double check), and I have backup tapes for it (containing the OS) on
DAT. If that would help, let me know.

Boot/Load tapes for the 927 and GX are not the same, despite both system running
"MPE". The GX is a 16-bit stack architecture machine running MPE-V. The 927 is a
32-bit RISC architecture (AKA HPPA-RISC) machine with a completely different
implementation (for the most part) of MPE. There is a 16-bit emulation mode on the 927,
but you won't be able to use OS tapes from one system on the other.
Are you looking for a cartridge install tape or a 1/2" round reel tape for your
system. Contact me off-list and I may be able to point you in the right direction.
Cheers,
Lee Courtney

Oops, I thought I had replied privately. In any case, I do appreciate
the clarification. :)
