Ok, here's a group of cards made by Hewlett Packard that appear to be of a mini computer style.... The first three have the white extractor tabs on two corners (much like an HP 1000's cards do) and are 7.5" by 17" and have female header connectors on the bottom 17" edge. Here's each card: 1) p/n 07980-66503 and has three bios looking socketed chips in the upper left corner. These are numbered 88780-12122, -12222, -12322 and there's a crystal for 20mhz on board. My guess is it's a processor board? 2) p/n 07980-66534 and has a quick lock type ribbon cable socket on the top/left, two bios looking chips numbered 88780-12423 and-12523. this has a flat coin type battery next to the ribbon connector, a Motorola MC68000 and 12 mhz crystal below that. Isn't the 68000 part of the Mac computers? I have no guess on this one other than maybe an processor or emulator card. 3) p/n 07980-66531 and has two ribbon quick locks. One is the same as the last card but behind a steel shield plate. The other is similar to the one used on older floppy controllers. This one also only has two bottom connectors rather than three like the other two. The fourth appears to be an SCSI card. It's irregular in shape and has two 50 pin Centronics females as well as two 50 pin quick lock ribbon connectors, one next to the Cent's and one on the opposite side. There's a bios type chip with a label reading 88780-12618/U51 SCSI 6.62 and a strange type brown two pin poweer connector. It appears to be mounted by screws, not cage/slide mounted. It measures 11" x 6.25" and has a cutout of roughly 3.5 x 4.5 inches near the two prong brown power type connector. Ok...you people know more about the big hardware than me. It's been 5 years since I've even seen an HP 1000 mini (from when I used an ESTS station in the AF to test missiles) and it's all a blur. Anyone know what these are, what they're from, and a possible new home for them? I hate to throw away the heavy hardware since I know it's costly and in some cases scarce. If someone wants to make me an offer for the four I'm sure I'd take it. Remember, these look like they're good and are untested. Let's face it though, anytime you can get something HP without paying HP's price you're doing good. I'd especially take anything PC parts wise in trade for these if someone has something good they can spare. Make me an offer and we'll go from there. They WILL go to the dump at the end of March though. They weigh probably 5-6 lbs for all four, very light. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Russ Blakeman RB Custom Services / Rt. 1 Box 62E / Harned, KY USA 40144 Phone: (502) 756-1749 / Data/Fax:(502) 756-6991 Email: rhblake(a)bbtel.com or rhblake(a)bigfoot.com Website: http://members.tripod.com/~RHBLAKE/ * Parts/Service/Upgrades and more for MOST Computers* --------------------------------------------------------------------
