  Well, I was hoping to get a HP3000 system for my experimetning with MPE
software.  I wrote a good amount of software for MPE V on a Series 48,
and I worked on some for a MPE/iX based Series 947.  I haven't had access
toa 3000 for a while.  If I am not able to get permission fo get a 3000
at my current high school, the former high school I worked with may wish
to get an extra 3000.  Thanks for info!
 
  I've never worked with MPE/IV, and I was hoping to get SOMETHING MPEish.
Can anyone suggest an inexpensive (really cheap) MPE system that won't
dim the lights in the building?
