HP 9845

The HP 9845 was the first in a famous line of workstation systems developed by Hewlett Packard. Other manufacturers like Apollo and Sun Microsystems (they were the ones who first transferred the Xerox Parc graphical user interfaces to commercial workstations), Silicon Graphics (who developed workstations with 3D-real-time-rendering capabilities) and Digital Equipment (who top-ranked the MHz-race with their Alpha processor) did a lot to serve the market with brillant systems at a time, when the IBM PCs - compared to the workstations - were not much more than typewriters with CRT and mass storage. But the HP 9845 was the very first one, which could justifiably be called a 'workstation'... This site tries to preserve and provide as much knowledge as possible around the HP 9845 series. For now it starts with a couple of hopefully useful hints, but it is intended to grow. If you have own experiences with those systems, please use the contact feature and share them with others.
