HP3000/917LX available in Vacaville

[Lee Courtney]

This is a *very* nice entry-level HP3000/MPE system based on PA-RISC
architecture. But one note - the 917 had the soldered TOD battery on the
motherboard, vs. the FRU TOD battery in the later 918. Not a reason to skip
if you are interested in this machine.
