There are still HP3000 systems being used in business critical functions,
12(?) years after the HP end-of-life date (no manufacturing or support)
for the product line. (From a business continuity perspective that's
insane.) Hardware support is not based on new manufacturer parts with
warranty, but

We occasionally hear of aged computers being employed in the nuclear
power industry, certain military applications or long lifed medical

I wouldn't expect commercial value to come into the discussion on this
list. I am wondering what other hobbyists pay in order to gauge whether
the price that a local recycler is asking for one (which was around
$100) is fair.

Some (if not many) of those that do eventually learn how to do it still

probably within 90 minutes drive.

I have three AlphaServer 2100 systems in storage in the UK
(Oxfordshire). The storage, however, is due to be demolished (soon, but
no fixed date).
I won't have room to store these three systems, so if anyone would be
interested in offering them a home, then please get in touch!
