Free, to a good home!
HP3000 Series 37 Mini Computer
Series 37 CPU
1 Meg RAM
7 Ports (6 ATP and 1 ADCC)
2 HP7945 55 MB Disk Drives
3 HPIB cables
1 HP9144 1/4 inch Tape Drive w/about 10 tapes.
1 HP Cabinet with internal rails
1 HP2392A 14 inch Terminal & Keyboard
( About the size of a Full Tower PC but twice as thick )
The machine loads to MPE V-Delta-5 (Version G.B3.05) operating system
I have the an original OS load tape.
Everything is in GOOD condition, and it runs! I used it as a
development machine for writing COBOL code up until last year.
I tried to sell it, but nobody was interested. The computer junk
dealers will "take it off my hands" for scrap. I would rather give
it away to someone/anyone who needs it/wants it or just wants to
learn about it, than have it scapped for parts.
The only loop hole is you have to come pick it up. It is heavy and
expensive to ship, and I don't particularly want to haul it down to
the UPS office.
I am in San Jose California.
First come first serve, limited quantity (1).
Regards
Alec
