It's funny, the drive emulator (on the bottom) despite being an old machine itself is 29 years newer* than the actual computer here
* 2013 mobo and cpu, idk the age of the case.

Cool, an hpib drive emulator?
Is this an commercial emulator - or did you build it yourself ?
Some inside pics would be nice to see!

I wanted to ask the same thing, but you beat me to it. More info would be interesting!

That has an HP FOCUS processor, right? Very cool! I want to get an early HP 9000 one day.

Tab completion in ksh set -o vi Esc/. (Complete) Esc = (Show matches)
