Hello HP3000-L.
I originally posted this on the newsgroup this morning, but it doesn't
appear that the bi-directional feeds between it and the list are working
anymore. If I'm mistaken and you end up getting the original posting
too, sorry.

Hello All!
It's certainly been a while since I've looked in on the list/
newsgroup. Hope things are going well for everyone.
Anyway, it's been so long since I've done any real HP3000 work I've
decided to do some office cleaning and get rid of some old equipment.
Most of this stuff works (or at least did when I shut off the power to
them years ago :) but it's probably not economical to pack and ship.
If you want it, you'll need to pick it up or I find someone to come and haul
it away soon.
The big one! HP3000 935, 2 cabinets with 3-4 eagle drives (I think
one is dead if memory serves). This thing must weigh in at 1500 lbs plus!
It has a couple of HPIB and one SCSI DAT drive. It does not have the SCSI
boot firmware (sorry). I got this used myself several years ago and used
it in the developers program so I don't have the MPE license for it. I'll also
throw in the HP2627A color (Star Trek) color console! This is a package deal
so no cherry picking (that's probably the only way someone may make the
effort to get it :) Oh, there's also a HP9000 E55 in the same cabinet (had to
stick it somewhere).
Let's see, there's also a couple of A2094 monitors, a HP9000 712/60,
a 2345A DTS, some comm equipment when we had our T1 line, and who knows
what else is buried in the back (probably mostly trash). I also have some of
the beige soft-bound manuals sitting on a shelf. I'm going to hang onto the
928 even though it's been powered off for over two years for sentimental
reasons. I regret giving up my TRS-80 Level I system back in 1995 so
some old stuff I'll keep :)
I don't really expect that anyone will drive to mid-Missouri to get any of this,
but wanted to offer it up before it finds it's way to an electronics recycler.
It's just not worth it to me to package/ship anything so before someone
says "Hey, I'll take blah blah blah if you can ship it", the answer is no.
So, how is the "open sourcing" or at least the "prying of the source code
from HP's hands" going for MPE?
