Alan, the retrotronics site is yours? I believe it has been hacked. Take a
look on blog history of 2014 and you'll see all the links were changed for
body supplement smething :(

Ah, thanks, I learned something. The HP 2767 is a weird beast - line drum
printer but only 80 columns, from what I glean from hpmuseum.net. David
(Collins), do you have the printer?

The old board is now in the antistatic bag that the replacement came

whether upgrading the memory is as simple as plugging in another
board, or does it involve wiring changes to the backplane, or other
complex manoevres?
Just plug in the memory cards.

Thanks. After asking the question, I did what I should have done
before asking it and paged through the MIM. Found a bit where it said
that the amount of available R/W Storage is calculated on startup.
I'll ponder
I do indeed have the printer. Found it on the weekend. No sign of the interface
card or cable yet though.

if the one I think it is... 300 lpm but if you are printing only one
zone on the left side 1000 lpm

of that unit ! we had on our hp 2000.

Hi all --
I picked up a small lot of HP 300 gear yesterday and I'm working on
getting them going. In particular, I have a 9000/350 that I'd like to
use but it has what appears to be a very early boot ROM (dated 7/9/87,
version A2) and it doesn't recognize the 98658 SCSI controller I'd like

You probably already found these. Unfortunately the 350 is missing
from the set. The only system I have myself is a 382.

Hi Josh,
"lot of HP 300 gear"
Being picky here, but I worked at HP in the HP 300 days and the system you
acquired does not sound like an HP 300, aka Amigo (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_300), but rather a model of HP 9000
desktop machines (M68K based?).
