HP 425e & HP 400T

Hi,
  there's some more ancient hardware available for pickup in  
Duisburg, Germany (near Düsseldorf):

2 HP425e
1 HP 400T
2 Displays HP98774A
1 Display HP98789A

There is one harddisk that is said to be Domain/OS formated, but I  
don't know of what size and if it's still working. Actually all of  
the stuff is untested and I don't know if it's working at all.

If you are interested in picking it up, please let me know :-)

cheers,
Rainer

partial success booting a 712/60


Hello all,

recently i got myself a hp712/60 to play with.

I downloaded
ftp://ftp.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200509090000Z/hp700/

and set up a bootp and tftp server. This part workes well. At the boot
admin prompt I only need to type "boot lan" and the machine grabs the
netinstall.lif and starts. (hey, great job!)

Question: There is a small time-frame to give additional parameters to
the booting kernel. Is there something needed for this specific machine?
Currently I just let it continue.

From the kernel output everything seams supported except the graphics:

...
"GIO Graphics" at mainbus0 (type 0xa, sv 0x85) hpa 0xf8000000 path 1
not configured
... 

Then comes the harddisk, which I have some problem with.
After several timeouts gives up with the hard disk which is okay because
it is probably broken: " Not ready , Initialization Command Required"

I've no clue wether it is an incorrect jumper setting or something else.
The drive is an HP C3725S. The interface negotiates synchronouse
transfer, so once I get it running. I have to admit I am newbee to SCSI

I do observe the same (sorry for not reporting, was playing with
OpenBSD/hppa and Debian first)
