HP1000F system to give away.
|
My Swiss high altitude lab was many years ago using two HP1000F computers. These were shipped to a computer museum in Lausanne but we kept a functional system in Li¨¨ge (Belgium) where my university is located. The idea was to have a minimum system able to read the tapes on which we saved the atmospheric spectra observed at the lab in case we missed something.?
?
Now, I am close to retirement and all tapes have probably been transferred on modern media so this HP1000F system located in Li¨¨ge is not useful anymore and I would like to avoid an ill fate to this nice piece of equipment and find for it a nice home with a caring HP lover. Seeing it sent to metal recyclers or digested for its gold looks terrible.
?
The system is made of a HP1000F CPU unit, 2 Kennedy 9000 tape units, 1 Kennedy 9218 Format Unit, 1 HP7912 Disk drive unit(rack version).
I don't know much more about the details except that I believe all was functional at the time when it was stocked. So I imagine that everything needed to link the units is probably there and perhaps connected. I didn't look but I suppose there is the necessary documentation lying around.
?
Please send a PM if you are interested and have the resources to remove the units from the racks and transport them.
Don't forget any of these units except the formatter are in the 50-70 Kg range and the 5 units fill two racks. I did not have access to the back to give more info.

Please also feel free to transfer this text to somebody you know who could fit the goal of this message. Since I have been a member of this group for many years, I know for sure that it is more lab oriented than computing.

Christian.
