Really unsure, but ... could it be a backplate for some very old MAC disk,
like a 7920/25 ? Or some old HP-IB 13037A controller ? If it is either, then
it would be about 14-15" long side, and 5-6" across. From your pics, Tracy,
it sort of looks like late-70s stuff.

I'm just wandering a guess.

Objet : [HP3000-L] Guessing Game - What Is This HP Part?


This is a guessing game to identify the HP part.

While searching though a pile of old HP3000 "stuff"
I found this old plate with a connector on it.  It
was in an anti-static bag.  The connector is jumpered
between the two leftmost pins on the connector on the
first picture.

The five screws are fitted for both flat head and #10
Torx.  It looks like a backplate of some kind.

A photo of the item that I placed against a whiteboard
can be seen at:

Can anyone guess what it is?

What should be the prize for the first correct guess?
