HP MPE/iX

How common is the os (MPE/iX) run on the HP 3000 series? I found two online for sale but they have no hard drives in them. I take it it’s just a scsi hard drive.

www.hpmuseum.net has images of MPE & MPE/iX that you can download. They can be loaded into an hpdrive setup to boot up an HP3000. External drives can be SCSI or HPIB depending on the vintage of the machine.

Which model 3000? There are many.

Have one sitting in the basement along with the HPIB attached hard drive tower. Haven't had time to try and fire it up yet.

The one I’m looking at has SCSI for the drives.

The OS on http://www.hpmuseum.net/ for this machine is only good for HP-IB machines.
