HP 9000/380 console? software? (was Re: HP 9000/382 Questions)
I've borrowed an HP 9000/380 from a friend, along with a 9122D floppy drive, but no software. It has an A1416A Color VRX DIO-II "Kathmandu" video interface, but I'm hoping that I can just use the serial port as a console. Does the DE9 serial console use the IBM pinout? Do I have to pull the A1416A to get it to use the serial port as the console? Is there any software that can be booted on it from the floppy, such as perhaps non-HP-UX BASIC?

The manual says you can't use a terminal on the internal serial port. You can boot Basic 5.1 or 6.2 from disc, on the hp museum site you can download the images. This is the default boot disk they made should work for every 200/300 series. http://hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?sw=27 I'm not sure if you can run Pascal from a floppy disk. -Rik

I found Basic 5.1 and Pascal 3.1 there and downloaded them. It would be nice to get newer versions, but as long as those work on the /380 it will be sufficient. Next I need to get an older PC running to use Teledisk. All of my modern PCs don't have a built in floppy drive, and I normally use a USB 3.5" floppy drive, but USB floppies don't support non-PC formats.

Eric, Basic 6.2 is also on the site and can be run from flop. -Rik -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: "Eric Smith" Verzonden: 27-1-2016 00:27 Aan: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" Onderwerp: Re: HP 9000/380 console? software?
