Nada más y nada menos que un HP 2100A. El equipo lleva ya unos cuantos años parado y tiene más mierda encima que el rabo de una vaca, ¡incluso tiene dentro trozos de yeso o cemento pegados! Por lo que se ve hicieron alguna obra en el recinto y le caería algo de cemento encima.
Algunos datos técnicos del equipo:
The HP 2100A Minicomputer
The HP 2100A computer was introduced in 1971. It was the industry's first microprogrammable minicomputer.
Above all it was the last HP computer claiming to be just an "Instrumentation Controller"
After the 2100A, computers at HP would be split into three different product lines. 1- The desktop calculator already existed in 1971 with the 9100A/B which would soon be updated by the second generation: 9810-20-30, to become the natural way of exchanging data with instruments in the whole industry. 2- The HP1000, a real time minicomputer would succeed the 21XX series as the controller in large system automation. 3- And finally, in 1973, with the introduction of the HP 3000, Bill Hewlett himself was obliged to admit that HP was now producing "Multipurpose Computer Systems." But not yet "Business Computers."
HP 2100A Main Specifications
The HP 2100A computer was introduced with these features:
- - 14 I/O channels, expandable to 45 with the I/O extender
- Dual-channel Direct Memory Access
- Memory protect
- Hardware multiply / divide
- Optional hardware floating point processor

Like the 211X computers that it superceded, the 2100A used magnetic core memory. It came standard with 4K words of memory, upgradable within the mainframe to 32K words.
