When I was in high school in the 70's I was granted permission to use
a local college's HP2100 system.
I don't know anything about the HP2100, but the librarian in me wants

What OS was I probably
It sounds like HP Fortran which is available for simh. You can find tapes and
manuals on bitsavers.org and there is a yahoo group dedicated to HP 2000 series
on simh.

Now how old is this particular system?
The several versions of DOS were available from about 1969-1976 or so. It
coexisted for a time with RTE (the Real-Time Executive) and TSB
(Time-Shared BASIC) but eventually was dropped in favor
