: The system in question has 2 7925 discs (washing-machine things), a CPU a : little smaller, and a dual upright tape drive which is 24"x36" floor space. : All runs on 115vac. Consumes about 15 amps, as I recall. It has 32 : ports in it and 4mb of RAM. Comes with a spare CPU, some boards, the : tape aligment tape, and a 7925 alignment kit (including that special : controller and pack). : Compared to our 947, it is, eh, a mere shadow. : -- : /\--.

So, '2' HP3000's (backup CPU?) ? The other is a Series 42 as well? The system sounds perfect for our purposes at Walkersville. Now, all I have to do is find out about MPE V licensing. I believe the last(?) version of MPE V is Release 44 or something. Could/would the MPE V license of your machine be transferred to us when we are able to get it? I don't believe MPE/iX 5.0 would run on this... although I could be mistaken, if MPE iX has compatibility mode support for Classic HP's. This is certainly 1000 times better than the HP 2000 I almost got 6 months ago when I first moved (I was desperate), and the Series 2 HP3000 with MPE III that was lurking around somewhere at the PG County SChools storage vault... Dan Kosack [log in to unmask] Yes, I do miss the 947 I used... It is definitely faster than the 48 I also used. Both of them blow away the HP2000 I could have gotten with 64K RAM, and some super primitive pre-MPE OS.
