Well, good news & bad news from the weekend regarding the HP1000's.
First, the good news: I've confirmed that both CPUs are in working order,
and they both have 4 bootloader ROMs. Testing went little further than
this, because:
a) I couldn't make it read from the disk, either because the interconnect
is wrong, or I'd got my MAC address wrong, or hadn't done something
required by the bootloader ROM, or don't have a disk bootloader. I tried
all four ROMs, but no visible life from the disk. 'course, not having a
terminal to plug in didn't help...
b) The bad news - both 'A' and 'B' machine cabinet PSUs failed (with a
distinct smell of Magic White Smoke about them), causing the supply ELCB to
trip. I'm unsure as to whether it's the fan, or the PSU which caused the
problem (the fan sounded pretty bad). The individual internal components
(CPU, mem extender, etc.) are all fine, so surgery will be simple. However,
I suspect the cause is damp, so I'm not going to fix & power up again until
summer and/or I get the paraffin heater working again.
And now, the s/w which came with the machine. All of this is on 1600bpi tape:

Note 1: The "CUSTOMISED RTE" tape also has the following on it:
Order No. : 80UB013758200000
System Handle: 8000319N
A.B5.27
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the disk packs, these mostly have handwritten labels, some faded to
obscurity. Three which looked interesting I wrote down:
BASELINE MASTER
SYSGEN MASTER
ESS BASELINE MASTER BACKUP
Also, 3 with just HP numbers:
HP 2213F00180
HP 2213F01585
HP 1940F00102
Any info on what the latter three might be would be most useful.

Cheers, Ade.
