You can find info on the 3000's at, among other places, the following web
sites:
http://www.3k.com and http://www.hp3000links.com When searching the web
search for "HP e3000" or "MPE/ix".
Another good site for help is itrc.hp.com.  Register yourself and
participate in the forums.  They have a section just for 3000 series
systems.

Good luck!
