Hello all.
In my ongoing search for all things HP 9000 Series 500 I accidentally
stumbled into HP Journal. HP has a database on the web with just
the article names:
http://www.hp.com/hpj/journal.html
But there seems to be a bug of sorts (I think I ought to report
it to HP). Try searching for HP 9000 Series 500, and you'll get one
article:
Mar-1984, HP-UX: Implementation of UNIX on the HP 9000 Series 500
Computer System by,
Now try to browse Mar-1984:
A Local Area Network for the HP 9000 Series 500 Computers
Does anybody have the magazine (and be willing to sell it :) or if
somebody has it could they give a list of the articles and
some info on is it worth ordering as a reprint.
Any other 9000/550 trivia gratiously accepted as it's quite
difficult to find information about them.

Jarkko,
I have a big collection of HP Journals but I don't have that issue.
However you used to be able to order reprints from HP. They should tell how
on their HP Journal website.
Any other 9000/550 trivia gratiously accepted as
it's quite
difficult to find information about them.
I talked to one the HP 9825 developers. He told me that the HP 9845
were supposed to be replaced by the 9000/5xx machines but that HP had a lot
of trouble with them and didn't built very many of them.
I'm still looking for a 9845C.

I solemnly promise to get a few better pics soon:)
Does anybody have any idea how many were built ?
I have yet to figure out a *safe* way to clone the OS to another
disk for backup.
Still looking for a complete list of all HP products through all time:)

Jarkko,

I guess I have to check. Are the journals normally worth the reprint
price ?

I have no idea but they're a lot rarer than a 9845 and it's rare.

Yes. The one reprint that I saw cost $12 and you couldn't tell it from
an original.
