Don - finally a question I feel comfortable answering. it is probably the HP
3000 Series 37, internal code name 'Mighty Mouse". It was pretty small as I
recall. Someone else was asking if MPE V-E was Y2K compliant; our version
certainly wasn't - the OS wouldn't boot to Jan 1 2000 - but here's the
interesting thing - a friend of mine experimented and set it to Jan 31, 1999
and it **did** flip over. So I guess if you never had a power failure and
never had to power down you could use V-E into the bext millenium!
I know offering free classic stuff is like trying to give coals to
Newcastle, but I did call HP with our list of recyclable stuff to pick up
and if anyone would like processor boards (42), ADCCs, heck, even an ET
terminal (you pay shipping ;-) ) - well, email me.
Still learning about out 917 which is a true mighty mouse. Had a strange
thing last night - it's a 917LX which I believe limits you to 8 sessions
and/or jobs and it wouldn't let me log on last night with 2 heavy jobs
running. Only 2 sessions were running.
But I continue to be amazed by the throughput of this thing. I think it is
even better than the old Series 70.
