HP 300-series boot rom archive?

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

Re: IBM 5110 - Where does the character set live? And other questions.

OK, it's definitely the display board. The replacement board came Friday, I installed it today and all the characters are displaying correctly. The old board is now in the antistatic bag that the replacement came in. I say "old", but looking at the numbers following the part number (9522YG49 on

Reset NVRAM on DECstation 5000/240

I am trying to get my new 240 going. Unfortunately all the diagnostic LEDs stay lit. From when I had a previous DECstation 5000/240 I found a note that I fixed this by resetting the NVRAM with a jumper. Unfortunately I did not record which jumper where, and I can't find mention of this in any

RE: HP 12653A line printer interface

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? Marc -Original Message- From: J. David Bryan [mailto:jdbr...@acm.org] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2017 11:12
