[comp.sys.hp] HP 9000/236 documentation?

wan@cory.Berkeley.EDU (Hank S. Wan) (09/07/89)

Does anyone have any documentation on hp9236?  In particular, how to
program the DMA controller, hpib interface, etc.

Is it possible to borrow/buy them?

Thanks for any pointers.

The "System Designer's Guide" for the Pascal Workstation operating system
(similar to UCSD Pascal) contains extensive source listings and internals
info on the Series 200 computers (such as your Model 236).

Yes, but I haven't the numbers handy.   Ask your local sales office.

The manual Bob Niland referred to is "Pascal System Internals
Documentation", part number 98615-90075.  You can order the manual from
HP's Direct Marketing Division at phone number 800-538-8787

You may want to check with the local hp sales office and 
see if any one has the standard documentation for the system .
You will need to tell them if you have Basic or Pascal. There is
a system designer's guide for Pascal that goes into a substantial
amount of detail on the internals of the 9836.

You may be able to just get them to loan it to you if you have
a friendly sales rep. If not, ask for the Documentation Guide
that most all HP offices have in the literature room.

the manual that we have with the part number 98615-90075 is titled
"Pascal 3.0/3.1 System Designer's Guide".  the one we have was printed
in 1985 and we have been told that there are no newer versions of this
manual.  

is this true?  are there any other manuals that go into how to program
the hardware on the newer computers?
