Since there appears to be interest on the list.... Perhaps Eric and I (and any other interested parties) should get together and create a document like "So, you want to run HP TSB?". We could get definitive answers to exactly what pieces/parts are required, put in some comparisons between the different versions, etc. Kind of a road map to help people get these systems running. Help them decide which version to try for, etc. I know I would have done just about anything for such a document when I got started... and had to learn along the way little things like F series can't run access, IOP firmware is only needed for access, E will only use 7900 or 2883 drives, etc. Stuff like that. WHICH brings me to the next point. HP/TSB had a rather cute RJE facility, where you could create programs for ... ummm what was it... I think a CDC or an IBM RJE device were the two supported.. and submit jobs to them and get the results back, either cards or printouts, etc. There was also some capability in this add-on for HP2000 to HP2000 communication. So if someone else gets an HP2000 system up, it would be rather cool to send jobs back and forth, tunneled across the net someway perhaps. Or, is there an IBM RJE I can dial and submit jobs to from my HP2000? Most kewl :) Jay West
