I clicked on the image in the report and it opened up a high def file which I
could zoom in on. For some reason it won't do it now but I snipped the HP 9000

says it's a 700/96 terminal.
It wasn't a guess!

Fascinating...thanks for sharing this! So the tape drive was integrated
into the chassis hardware. Now that's proprietary.
I don't even see evidence of a CRC or checksum in the documentation. Do
you think that each record has one, and they just didn't document it?
Anyway, very interesting, nic

The case matches HP-9000 Series 800 (F-class server) -- one of the lower-end
models (807, F10; 817, F20; 837, F30). All based on PA-7000
