[rescue] HP Box ID/Assessment

[Chris Petersen]

Steve:

Sounds like that *might* be one of HP's VME/VMX-based PA-RISC boxes, used
for industrial applications.  They were essentially modular backplane-based
versions of HP desktop workstations, but were mostly unsupported after 10.20
or so.  Some only ran HP's HP-RT real-time OS.

They're definetely not a "server" version of a 700 workstation, if this is
indeed what they are.  If you can find me some more numbers on the units
(700i is a fairly generic # for the series), I might be able to tell more
about them.  

I would definetely be interested in one from a quirky collectable
appreciation, if that's what they turn out to be.  

Chris
