Conversion from a 947RX AFAIK, the firmware should be 100% identical. The only diference I'm aware of is the model string and the OS-license info in stable storage. And, of course, you're giving up a lot more turning an HP 3000 into a Linux box than you are when turning an HP 9000 into a Linux box :) Seriously, if he has a 947RX, he might be able to resell it. As far as selling a 922? It's a very old HP 3000, and has little or no market value :( (By "little or no", I mean: you'll be lucky to sell it for $50.) -- Stan Sieler sieler@allegro.com www.allegro.com/sieler/wanted/index.html www.sieler.com
