Hardware Description

he HP 300 was an integrated multi-user computer that supported up to 16 attached terminals. The all-in-one box included processing hardware, a 12 MB hard disc, an eight inch floppy disc drive and a built-in 5 x 10 inch display with keyboard. The 300 ran an operating system called Amigo/300. It was the only HP computer to run this operating system. The CPU incorporated the same CMOS/SOS (complementary metal oxide/silicon-on-sapphire) technology that was used in the HP 3000 Series 33. The 300 connected to peripherals via an HP-IB interface.
