I have!
 
You know of the strengths the HP3000 possesses for business data processing,
and you've probably heard of the real time features of the HP1000.  The
HP4000 was a system that combined the features of both (i.e. 1000 + 3000 =
4000).  It was designed for real-time business applications such as stock
trading and automated tellers.  If I recall, only three were ever sold.
