I have an HP 1000 A900 20-slot box with a working 4 card CPU set
(sequencer, data path, cache control, memory controller). I also have
a 12990-60102 A990 CPU card that would replace the 4 A900 CPU cards
and install in place of the A900 memory controller card.
What I don't have is the 12990-60020

AFAIK the only DEC 16MB Q-bus board is the MS650 M7622 for the KA640,

Have you already seen this one?
RA80 Disk Drive Service Manual,
Those waveform window displays are from an HP / Agilent 16700 series logic
analyzer. Easy to recognize the HP-UX U/I if you have used one.

The HP 16500 / 1660 / 1670 series which have hard drives use standard IDE

They might be slightly picky about which drives work. Any drive larger than

How many wires are necessary to speak the PS/2 protocol? How many pins
are there on a USB connector?
In front of me right now I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer USB

One is a DEC M7458 MSV11-R, the other is from a 3rd party "General Robotics
