  Ahh... and all those HP-IB disks too.  Many people "keep" such
paper-weights about.  Free but heavy storage. :)

  Does anyone know the HP3000 series of computers (not 9000/300, but
3000)?   The old CISC/Classic processors run up to MPE/V, but there was
never any UNIX variant for them.  Those machines can deal "massive" serial
IO, and HP charges outragous prices for support or even TCP/IP capability.
Generic HP-IB may make a port more feasible, even though the architecture
is rather esoteric (if you can even get documentation!).  Those machines
are freebies, and if you can get an ALM with it, you have 30+ serial ports
for free.
