Okay .... let me copy some info from the brochure .... This is for the
57 MIPS at under US$12K model. Before I begin, lets say that this is
not official and you'll have to see HP Sales for the exact details.
AND ... I AM NOT A SALESMAN ! HECK, I AM AN IC DESIGNER !


CPU .... definitely  :-).
	[ 55.5 SPECmarks, 17 MFLOPS, 50 MHz clock speed ]
	[ 128Kbytes instruction cache size, 256Kbytes data cache size ]
16 MB ECC memory (standard) .... expandable to 64 MB.
	[ 80 nsec, 4 Mbit DRAM ]
10 Mbits/sec Ethernet LAN interface (standard).
SCSI-II single ended 8 bit (standard).
Parallel and Serial port (standard).
EISA bus 1 (optional).
19 inch Mono (GRX) 1280x1024 monitor and graphics engine (standard).
	[ 256 levels of grayscale, 1280x1024 resolution, 72Hz monitor ]
Mouse, keyboard, nice casing and speaker of course  :-).
SCSI-II hard disk 210 MB (standard ???)
	[ this is where things get a bit gray. I am under the impression
	  that it comes with a hard disk. The brochure talks about all
	  kinds of disk configuration --- 210 MB is the smallest of them
	  all, so I presume that is the standard. I could be wrong. ]

** I could have left out something. Like I say above, call the proper
   channel for more accurate information. Besides, I don't want to
   accused of advertising  ;-).  .... I just want to pass this info on
   because I really believe this is a great line of machines.

Have fun.
