Has anyone heard of the HP1000 anyway, at least in a home/hobbyist
context? It looks more like an industrial-type computer to me, something
that would have never seen the inside of most private homes, unlike the
Altair or IMSAI. . . 
Ok, so call me odd (you would not be the first)...  But I have a pair of HP
1000F CPUs (aka HP 2117F).

One of the early systems I used in school was a timeshared BASIC system
that ran on HP CPUs, so there is a sentimental attachment here.

Pictures on my web pages...
