Chances are you have a 3000/37 (slightly smaller than a desktop PC)
or a Micro 3000 (similar, or sometimes about the size of a tower PC).

No, there's no Y2K remediation for the Classic HP 3000.

Is there a product number on the back?  Do you have a boot disk?

(If the boot disk is inside the same box as the computer, then you
don't have a 3000/37 ... but I think some Micro 3000s came that way)

Whatever you do, don't dump it!

If you have other questions, the best resource is HP3000-L (aka comp.sys.hp.mpe),
but the Classic Computer mailing list might be a resource, since some of the
collectors on the list also have Classic HP 3000s (and they're more used
to interacting with fellow collectors):
