HP Personal Computers 

HP's personal computers are easily integrated with HP 3000 systems.
Users can take advantage of the rich functionality available in PC
applications while using the full range of HP 3000 resources.  Processing
power can then be focused on the PC, reducing the demand on the host
system.

With HP Business System Plus, PCs are integrated into a complete
departmental solution.  Sophisticated mail systems electronically speed
information such as documents, graphics, and program code throughout your
organization.  Access to host database information for authorized PC
users reduces the demand for specialized MIS reports.

Shared printers, plotters, and disk storage maximize return on peripheral
investments.  Backing up PC hard disks to the HP 3000 increases data
security, and centralized distribution of PC applications increases MIS
control.

HP Vectra Personal Computers present a broad range of price/performance
choices for the user who needs the local computing capability of PCs
together with terminal access to the host computer.

HP Vectra PCs can be integrated with HP 3000 systems to take full
advantage of HP 3000 data and peripherals while offering complete
PC-based office functionality.

HP AdvanceLink and HP AdvancePrint software is available for
file-transfer and shared printing/plotting with the HP 3000.

The HP Human Interface Link (HP-HIL) is supported on Vectra PCs.  This
allows you to use input devices such as HPTouch, HPMouse, HP Bar Code
Reader, and HP Graphics Tablet.

HP Vectra Personal Computers are compatible with the IBM/ PC/AT, or
Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA). This means thousands of software
packages and accessories are also supported on Extended Industry-Standard
Architecture (EISA) PCs, such as the Vectra 486 PC. In addition,
accessories take advantage of EISA's advanced capabilities are fully
supported by the Vectra 486 PC.

spreadsheets--right on your desktop.

The HP Vectra QS/16S features the Intel 386S 16-MHz microprocessor, while
the HP Vectra QS/20 features the 20-MHz Intel 386 microprocessor.  Both
computers offer seven accessory slots; three half-height mass-storage
shelves; serial/parallel ports; 360-Kbyte, 1.2-Mbyte, and 1.44-Mbyte
flexible disk drives; and up to 304 Mbytes of hard disk storage.

HP Vectra RS/20C and RS/25C PC 

The HP Vectra RS/20C and RS/25C offer superb PC performance and
expandability.  They are ideal for running demanding applications such as
large spreadsheets or databases.  The HP Vectra RS/25C features a 25-MHz
386 microprocessor; eight accessory slots; six half-height mass storage
shelves; 1 Mbyte to 16 Mbytes of 32-bit memory; serial/parallel ports;
360-Kbytes, 1.2-Mbyte, and 1.44-Mbyte flexible disk drives; and up to 620
Mbytes of internal hard-disk storage.  The HP Vectra RS/20C PC offers the
same features but uses a 20-MHz Intel 386 microprocessor.

HP Vectra 386/25 

The Vecta 386/25 offers excellent performance for the high-end PC user.
The Vectra 386/25 features a 25 MHz 32-bit microprocessor, seven ISA
accessory slots, three half-height mass storage shelves, a multifunction
controller card, 2 Mbytes expandable to 32 Mbytes, serial/parallel ports,
32-Kbyte cache, and 64 Kbytes of BIOS ROM.
