Good doc...if your system is in it.
I figured out that it HP's Model: A1991 which isn't listed in that doc.
I got back to the product illustrations and it looks as if I have a 710
ir 705, without a floppy drive.
I've cracked it open and here are my observations:
The big main chip has HP 1FZ3-0001 90050002 REV C 5181-2499
There is a unmarked TI manufactured chip next to the big HP chip.
It uses the NCR 53C700, SCSI controller, I think.
The board number is A1991-66001
2 rows of 4 SIMM slots (8 SIMM total)
No expansion ports.
Front:
diagnostics LED labeled from left to right 87654321
8-5 unlabeled.
4 has a sidewise heart with a dot in the middle.
3 is a square on a point with an arrow out the top (SCSI?).
2 An arrow pointing up to a dot.
1 An arrow pointing down to a row of dots.
Power switch
Now the questions are:
1) is it a 705 or 710?
2) Since the VGA port definatly doesn't seem to work (tried 4 monitors,
even B&W), I don't have a HIL connector; how do I get it to default the
console to a serial port?
Thanks for all the help thus far.
