Ah yes, 0x27, I see it listed.  I'll have to look to see if there are
any switch settings that might control that; if so, I can try the other
98658 ID settings to see if the ROM code recognizes them.

:-)  I'm dealing with a lot of hazy memories myself here.

I don't know.  The front panel just has a little plate with the
Hewlett-Packard logo and name, then the number 300 set fairly large,
and in much smaller type just above it (and flush right), the number
9000.  I take it this makes it an HP9000/300 series machine, but I
don't know how to get anything more precise than that.
