Wanted - Looking for any early model computers with HP-IB, and related equipment

[mfleming]

I worked on racked ATE's back in the day that used HP9000 series 300 controllers with a very powerful BASIC. Some can be found on The Bay at prices you'd expect to pay for a modern notebook. IIRC most required an external HP-IB mass storage device as well, though later models at least had built in floppy drives. Try to locate a manual first to see if a model might fit your needs.

Side note: I'm looking to acquire a Precision Matthews PM-728VT mill to complement my old 13" Southbend lathe
