indeed, as it turned out (at the end of the fair(?) they allowed me to
pick for free..destruction was the alternative)
the HP9121, 9122, 9123
are dual floppy drives and a HP-IB bus..
the 9123 has an extra pc keyboardish plug??
the 9133 is a (ST-255) 20Mb(?) harddisk combined w/ 1 floppy and the
HP-IB bus again.. pitty pitty no CPU found.

i toped it of w/ 2 consoles a 120 and a 150 containing a printer as well.
strange (for me) ..them contain HP-IB as well

luckely i got the local univ.'s 9000 300 cpu's a few years ago..
still want to get them going w/ NetBSD so things will come handy
in a few, or more, months ..

next time ;)
(ideally i'd like a box running for every port)

ahum no boat..
but the house gets crouded w/ things other people throw away ;)
i'm so enormishly pleased that i'm able to run NetBSD on them!

thanx all for responding..
it gives me a bit of a push to play w/ other/unknown hardware
and it gives me the feeling i'm not left out in learning and
enjoying the fruits of our computer past.
