congdon@gargoyle.UChicago.EDU (Richard Congdon) (07/15/87)

    The Education Department of the University of Chicago is
currently fielding offers for our HP9000 series 500 (9040) machine.
The available hardware:

	1) The CPU. There are two CPU's; one fixed point and one
           floating point. The machine comes with 3.5 Megabytes of RAM,
	   and one HP-IB card.
	2) 2 8-channel multiplexers (pn 27128A). These are not modem
	   capable ports, but are good for terminals or printers that
	   can use a serial interface.
	3) 1 IOP and I/O Expander with 6 ASI cards. This adds an
	   additional 6 modem capable serial ports.
	4) 1 20M Winchester drive with a 3 1/2" floppy drive.
	4) 1 132M disk drive. (pn 7914P/R) This has a linus tape drive
	   built in.

To a certain extent, we are willing to sell these piece-meal, but
the 132M disk drive could only be offered if the whole system was
taken. Furthermore, if the offers received are not high enough, the
system will not be sold at all.
