I want that junkyard:)
Anyway, if you can find the disks and/or tapes/drives to the 500, run,
don't walk to get it. I just upgraded my 9000/550 to 3 CPUs and 8MB
memory (of which one board is defective but the machine gracefully maps it
out). I'd like to add another IOP too but..

The boards are impressive and I promise to take some pics some day
and post a pointer.

btw, what on earth is HP 9000/600 ? I've only seen a few references to them
but nothing solid. Does anyone have one ?
