No, don't have one, but remember it well.  It was a brother
(sister?) to
the first HP3000 HPIB CPU.  Great machine, but going nowhere
because there was no upward growth path.  I remember remarking at
the time that HP would have done much better putting its
investment into a low cost 3000 and instead of spending money to
program the 300, put it into a better BASIC and RPG for the 3000.

I remember too much!
