Curious. The 520 we had was more like a large deskside system. No video,
though
probably one was offered. Definately no built in monitor. We used the
standard HP terminals as consoles. I never saw it referenced as a 9020.

we also had a 540, but I don't know what the differences were.

But they were really cool UNIX boxes. You could hear your data on the 404Mb
drive being read and written. And they were built like tanks.
