Johannes Thelen - and others... HP-3000 Series II? series II?? We
would pay handsomely for one.
We found our backup archive set of HP-3000 software - heh heh all
kinds of software including FORUM/3000 which was a multi user 100
seperate boards bulletin board, electronic mail, electronic poll and voting
system, multi user chat rooms...
( this was all pre Internet so it was way cool back then!
just gotta read the tapes.... amazed... this grouping of tapes
was an off site storage I had forgotten about and re found in the
back closet at the house... had not seen it in over 23 years..
I am really hot on getting e series II or II back to have one at
the SMECC museum here in Arizona as it was one of my favorite machines but
also we have the giant plug in front panel for it that shows all
registers that the customer engineer would bring out in a suit case to
really get down and dirty....
We have the series II and III interface board as well as the HP-3000 CX
series interface board which is a separate item.. see
http://www.smecc.org/hp/hewlet16_series_3_with_maint_panel.gif to see it hooked to
HP 3000 WACC-B from U Wisconsin
Used by Marlys Nelson - HP-3000 Programmer Extraordinaire! this photo
was shot after we even had retired the system was using a series 48
with 303 meg drives I kept in next to my desk and would test boards in
it.... When the panel was active on the III with users on it it was
fun to throw it into single step BEWRAHHAHHAHH!!!AA!!!

the big one of this donate is HP3000 Series III! :D
Finding software for the Series II and III has been extremely difficult
so please try to find any that was associated with the machine.
