**NOT** to be confused with the (highly successful) HP9000 series 300
(actually, series 3xx - numbers have ranged from 310 to 375).

The HP 300 was an old (1978 or so) proprietary architecture that never made
it out the door. This was before the "300" designator was sucked up by the
Workstation folks for the followon to the 98xx/99xx series (which were
re-named the HP 9000 series 2xx) Unix/Basic/Pascal workstations.
