That would be a fun and worthwhile project; I wish I had more 
information about the MX-30 RAM and how it's different.  Infotek 
basically replaced every HP component (except the backplane) with the 
MX-30, so it could be radically different than the original.

The HP Museum has some pretty good pictures, see here: 
http://www.hpmuseum.net/exhibit.php?hwimg=1060.  If you need something 
more detailed, let me know and I can run them through my scanner (not 
the feeder portion).
