Hey gang!
  I've recently taken possession of an HP3000/980 (thanks Dave Debus!).
While I've been around 3000's for years, I've never been the hardware guy so
I'm looking for help.

  Can anyone point me to any documentation related to hardware
installation/configuration. (i.e. What's this board do?, where do I plug this
cable. etc.).

  Any good/cheap tape drive recommendations?  Currently the box is minus a tape
drive.  (it's got several SCSI and fl boards)

  It has 9 HP6000 FL drives (1.3 gig).  Do I want to use these or should I just
go SCSI?  Also any good drive/cheap drive recommendations?

  Lower priority (since it's currently just holding down the slab in my garage)
is hooking this up to a LAN.  I've currently got a 10baseT (RJ 45 plug) peer to
peer PC network running.  How do I (Can I) hook up this box to this network?
What do I need hardware wise?  It seems to have the 10base2 cable connector
which plugs into the lanic on the back of the 980.  Can I just get an adapter
from this cable to an RJ45 plug?

Thanks in advance!

Rich (hopefully soon to be developing no the best platform in the world!) Trapp
