Well, this is not in my 1981, 82, 84 or 85 HP catalogs. I was wondering what
resource it manages, what it plugs into? Any info out there on this? Anyone
have a 1983 HP catalog they could check? or maybe a 1980?
It works with the HP 9825, 9835 & 9845 series of computers from the early
1980s. On the other end is an Amphenol 50 pin female connector, similar to
early SCSI 1 connectors.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

FWIW, it's not in my 1987 HP catalogue, either.

Shared Resource Manager is a form of network file sharing. The SRM adapters for the 9000
200/300 series computers are common around here and I've seen the adapters for the
98xx computers. But I've never been able to find out much about the file server end of
SRM.

Somewhere I have an HP computer in a box the same size as the standard
HPIB hard disk units. IIRC contains an SMPSU, a CPU board flat in the
bottom which contains a 68000 CPU, RAM, HPIB port, etc, and 3 expansion
card slots. In my machine these contain a video card (looks to be
monochrome text only), an SRM interface card (with a BNC connector) and a
card with HP-HIL, sound, etc on it. Maybe there's another HPIB port on
this card.
It would take some time to find it to get the model number, but does
anyone recognise it from the description. Could this be used as an SRM
file server?

Yes, that's it. I've just dug it out of of my pile...
The mainboard contains a 64 pin DIL CPU (almost certainly a 68000 or
68010), a 68440 DMA chip, 1TL1 HPIB interface + buffers, 68681 serial
chip, 512K DRAM, a couple of ROMs and TTL glue
Mine contains 3 expansion cards :
50962A SRM Coax Interface -- Z80A CPU, Z80A SIO, Z80A CTC, 8K SRAM, ROM<
TTL glue, some AMD analogue chip that seems to connect to the network
connecotr (BNC)
Human Interface (HPIB, HP-HIL, speaker connectors) -- 1RD2 HP-HIL chip,
9114 HPIB + buffers, 76494 sound chip (!), Intel microcontroller (8042?)
98204A Compoaite Video -- 6845, 2K SRAM, a couple of EPROMs, lots of TTL.
One day I'll find the time to investigate it fully...

Is it 50960A ? If so, probably.
