Anyone know anything about HP Workstations?

[altayd9]

I have a set of 3 HP Workstation cabinets from 1988 for industrial use, and I know nothing about them other than the fact that they power on. They seem to be HP 9000 computers, consisting of an A400 and another unit, one is a 1350S, one is a 600S, and the other is marked SCSI SE. I know they were used to store operating data in a chip fab. I'm not even sure if some of them still have video cards, since I believe they were chained together and operated by a separate workstation that I do not have, but I have not hooked them up to a monitor yet. I believe they are supposed to run HP/UX but other than that I know nothing about these, theres some info on the A400 but I can't seem to find what the other units are. Anyone know?

You could ask at https://groups.io/g/VintHPcom/, there's been a bunch of discussion recently about various of the 9000 series computers.

One of these, perhaps? http://www.hpmuseum.net/exhibit.php?class=1&cat=41

The A400 is a server-class machine that would have typically been run headless (no graphics card) and accessed either over the network or from a serial console. https://www.openpa.net/systems/hp_a400_a500.html

The 1350S is a 1.35GB SCSI external disk drive. Are you sure the 600S isn't actually a 660S, which would be a 660MB SCSI external drive? http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=468

Obviously, the box marked with just "SCSI SE" is yet another SCSI external hard drive of unknown capacity.
