John:

HP offers the P405 as a 2934 replacement. HP OEMs the unit from a German
company. The 405 is *very* German, meaning the control panel is difficult to
understand and the engineering is rather intricate. However, it does seem to
work okay once you get the hang of it. You can order from your HP 3000
reseller, but delivery times are likely to be long and the price is likely to
be between 3k and 5k, depending on which options and accessories your purchase.
