>David Abbott asks about upgrading an HP 9000/310 to an HP 9000/340 for his
>FACScan. According to the latest (Summer 1993) HP DIRECT catalog, HP does
>not offer *any* of the 9000/3xx workstations anymore. However, they do offer
>an upgrade for the 310 (no upgrades for the 340). The 310 upgrade would give
>you a faster CPU (68040/25) than the 340, the same (15" 640x480) video or
>better (1024x768) video than the 340, for the low, low starting price of
>6,830 (US$). Call 800-637-7740 for more info. Of course, LYSYS II (or Consort
>30) may not work on an upgraded 310.
I had HP bring in an HP382 to replace a HP310 that had been upgraded by BD
to run LYSYS II (not a full 310 --> 340 upgrade). I tried to run LYSYS II
on the 382 with no success. The explanation from BD (this was over a year
ago and
I can't remeber the exact explanation) was something to the effect that the
video
drivers for the newer HPs don't support the drivers in LYSYS II. So, I
would be
very cautious about upgrading any HP without being assured by BD that their
software would run on it.
It's strange that HP considers their 9000/3xx workstations obsolete and yet
BD continues to sell them with their newest instruments. hhhhmmmmmmmm.
