Looks like there isn't much on that board other than some serial chips, a RTC, RAM, ROMs and the CPU. It must have acted as a serial line peripheral controller for another computer, so the resources to use it directly as a SBC will be limited to that set of features. You'll have to reverse...

Found a pair of MSV11-JE boards for a reasonable price and a 11/83 cabinet kit SLU to round things out.

My 11/83 only has 3 MiB of Qbus memory unfortunately, I had an 11/73 M8192 CPU card in there originally and was lucky to get one of those NOS 11/83 CPU cards a while back and had an 18 MHz capable J11 chip to put into it. Everything I've read suggests it is possible to use both PMI and Qbus...

The information linked in the original post describes the capabilities. You can set a raw monitor mode where the QBus signals are passed through to the LEDs, or attach logic probes to the QProbe board via headers.

Ignore the fact it claims to be a Vax. Apparently I can't insert a movie here, this is a link to it on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-aJ6GivDW9fMYw1dxd9Q_QGfPghAHAlp/view?usp=drive_link The roaring sound is mostly the forced air furnace, the vent is right below me taking the video.

I finally finished the build and installation of my QProbe 2023 into my BA23 housed 11/83. Despite thinking I had been careful when installing the reset momentary switch, I managed to install it reversed and had to haul it out again to fix that. To help hold the LED panel sled in position, I...

Forgot to follow up years ago. It depends if the VxWorks image was configured to enable the command interpreter on a console port or not. If it does then the commands available depend on the VxWorks version and if the command interpreter(s) are compiled into the kernel image. For VxWorks 6.9...

You could test the PS with dummy loads for a while while you have it apart.

I second this, I have one from the 90s that has been useful on a number of occasions. Of course if you need another piece of vintage equipment HP made a nice serial protocol analyzer series starting with the HP 4951A.

Is this a system that if a video card was installed it might change the console settings to point to the graphic display and an attached keyboard? Does it have a way to reset the settings to default?

At NCAR we had a Cray T3D system that was more of an appendage to a Cray C90 system. https://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/ncar-supercomputing-history/t3d

I know you are looking for already written, but Python + Sqlite3 are pretty simple to get going, you probably won't need anything fancy. Export/Import from CSV pretty easily and possibly Excel XLSX with openpyxl or something similar.

How fun. Now to decide if my 11/83 in the BA-23 will fit the drive bay panel...

Does the printer support raw ASCII text sent to it or does it want the print job sent in some other format? I guess you haven't told us what type of files you are trying to print.

Just procure a J-11 chip and build your system around that?

Do they only use the QBus for power? Doesn't look like many of the QBus signals are obviously connected in the pictures.

At least it was stable long enough for nikola-wan to fetch the files. For those who see this in the future you'll need to use the host name.

I just tried, it worked for me, ftp.dreesen.ch has address 81.221.200.201

It behaves the same way for me, I've never actually tried playing it. The source and some readme files can be found in /usr/src/games/hack.

If you haven't found it yet, the https://groups.io/g/hpseries80 list has lots of information and people who are Series 80 enthusiasts.
