   I know it's bad form to answer one's own question but I've been
researching the HP 1000 and found some interesting items. First it appears
that this one has had the HP 12823F F series Enhancement/Upgrade Kit
installed. The kit consist of three parts; (1) Base Instruction Set upgrade
(ROMs 012117-80016, 80017 and 80018 on the CPU card). (2) Scientific
Instruction Set (ROM set A on the FEM board). (3) Fast Fortran Processor
Set (Set B on the FEM board). Set C on the FEM board is the Vector
Instruction Set. Sets G and H are something called RTE-6/VM Operating
System EMA/VMA Firmware. This is looking more and more like a LOADED machine!
