The HP 3000 family of computers dates back to 1972.  Included
in the current family are a wide range of machines,  most using 
HP's PA-RISC architecture.

The PA-RISC machines all have model #'s like HP 3000 Series 9xx.
These machines run HP's MPE/XL operating system.  Both LAN and
WAN products are supported,  and a large body of comercial 
software exists.  A local HP sales office should have a thick 
book which lists applications software.

HP's older family of 3000's (Series 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x) run 
the MPE/V operating system.  They are (for the most part) 
compatible, and support the same features as, the PA-RISC 
models.

A full range of compilers,  database products,  electronic mail and
pc integration products are also available from HP.

Good Luck,
