the hp 3000 did not have as many things displayed as the 2100... only one
register.. and only on the series III or earlier, the later boxes were
pretty much butt ugly.
the novel thing we have here at the museum is the CE maintance panel for
the 3000.. it has every possible part of the machine displayed with lights
and you can also single step the beast with people logged on!
many mnay of my years were spent on the 3000 and we would like to get a hp
3000 for the museum here.
preferably close to Arizona but...... would buy one in new York even!
cash or trade! bring it on!
I have my tape set .....still!
