Howdy there! I work at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (the enterprise-side of the 2015 company split, consisting primarily of PPS becoming HP Inc.

Our lab supports some absolutely ancient server/data center technologies (still alive!) purely for customer contract support purposes... some back from the Compaq merger days and before!

I have an HP version as well as the newer Agilent Net Advisor. The T1/T3 undercradle I have is for T-carrier analyzing of T1/T3 etc. (1.544Mbs/44.736Mbs). It allows for non intrusive monitoring of the signal for alarms and errors. It will also provide intrusive test capability for verifying circuit integrity to various points through the T-Carrier circuit. There are many under carriage modules for these. I have one for testing DS0 2.4k thru 64k Data circuits. One for TEMS (Transmission Impairment Measuring Set) which will perform frequency loss and nyquist tests on copper wire facilities. I also have an undercarriage for RS232/RS485 protocol analysis with v.35 and D-Sub connectors. I might even have some FX (Foreign Exchange) test units that will test analog voice lines and act as customer endpoint equipment such as a PBX.... A very versatile piece of kit for its day when to purchase a piece of test equipment for each of these technologies would cost 10's of thousands EACH per device.

dreamy stone HP began as a test equipment company, primarily, but not exclusively, electronics test gear. They later expanded into computing. As the computing side grew and grew, the test and measurement arm was spun off as Agilent. Agilent in turn began to expand heavily into non-electronics test and measurement, especially lab and biochem. Eventually, that grew so big that they spun off the electronics test and measurement again, this time as Keysight. It kinda saddens me that the division that is HP's true roots didn't get to keep the HP name. Keysight is just an awful name IMHO.

@control_the_pet_population

I was hired for my very first full-time IT job in the summer of 1998... doing laptop/desktop support... and my first laptop was an older HP Omnibook with a pop-out mouse. By that time, the pop-out mouse had already been phased out of the mainstream Omnibook line. I think it was used mainly in laptops manufactured from '95-'97. That said, part of my 'hazing' as the new guy was to get the older crappy laptop... After a few weeks on the job, I was expected to upgrade myself into a newer model... but to start... it was pop-out mouse. To be honest, I very rarely used it... typically had a PS2 mouse plugged in. While pretty much everybody found it awkward to use, it was functional in a pinch... which is about the only compliment I can give it. As far as how it functioned... it was a fairly complicated device compared to the eraser / touchpad pointers that would replace it. The 'cable bridge' had two sets of conductive contacts on the internal end that would register with pads inside the assembly... one set for the x-axis and another for the y-axis. Buttons were controlled by conductive strips that ran along the same surface as the positional contacts. Replacement was a bit of a pain... as with most laptops... a lot of things needed to be disassembled to reach what you wanted... But it could be removed in 2... or maybe 3 parts. Once the laptop was torn open, replacing the pop-out mouse section only took a minute or two. Thankfully, these models were already being phased out when I started and they were all retired by early '99.... so I didn't work on them all that much.... and my recollection might not be perfect. In general, the thing was more robust than it looked. The most common damage was when somebody would forget to pop it back into the laptop before putting the laptop into their bag... the mouse would snag on something and the plastic bridge would shear off.... but outside of that type of catastrophic damage.. it held up quite well in day-to-day use... occasionally dust would interfere with one of the contacts... so the x-axis would work perfectly while the y-axis would be all wonky... but that was relatively rare. All in all... a neat bit of over-engineering compared to what replaced it.

Loved the fan powering up! Takes you back! Live long & prosper!

Clint, if you ever do another Tech Tales, then you should review MSN TV (WebTV) if you haven't already done so. They were around from the mid-'90s all the way up until 2013. I remember my father was provided a keyboard, remote mouse, and a box that you hooked up to the TV. Of course, it also used dial-up access, so you needed a landline. It's actually pretty funny thinking about it. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. We ditched it after a few weeks back in 1997 ('98?) because we had nothing but problems. You can probably find it for dirt cheap off of eBay. Love your videos, especially the one about America Online (AOL). I subscribed.

Hey LGR! :) These "laptops" (if we dare call 'em that, haha) were mainly used to test out lines up to T1. The software contains a scala of testing options, including bit-fails and whatnot. This was THE tool to have to analyse the (for that time) top of the line network connections. Cool stuff, and the one you have is in awesome condition! :)

those switches is to manualy set the parameters of the serial port for specialized comms

My father works for keysight, he's been there since the hp days. He might be willing to do an interview if you want to hear the story.

My Dad worked for Hewlett Packard and then Agilent Technology when it split off. He was one of the project managers on this product! When I showed him this, this is what he replied: “Yes. We produced a “Signalling Advisor” which used the same pc based chassis (which we co-developed) and different interfaces and extra processing. Ours was $40-$80,000. Signalling is the therm used for control signals for phone networks - mobile, long distance, satellite and undersea cable. Our extra processing correlated the signalling from 4 channels (for reliability) and in real time analysed the details of all the calls being made.”

That thing would still look right at home with the racks of Agilent and HP instruments at my last job, the Keysight spinoff was just happening at the time. I almost wonder if this was meant to be if not rack mounted at least rack attachable. That protocol test suite is quite the doozy with ISDN and Fiber Frame Relay this must've been quite the swiss army knife for telecoms Since instruments were HPs first products, Keysight can in many ways be thought of as the successor to the core of Hewlett-Packard and it has a large part of the company archives that it inherited.

needed it for faster access to My Space Page

Love sooooo much your channel ! Thanks for the discoveries ! CHeers from France :)

This thing is sweet! I love all the lights! I’ve worked in server rooms where even desktop network monitors have less ports and stuff!

man i love 90s. HP made the GREATEST pop-out mouse ever

And it sounds like a damn jet engine, Love it!

I ran one of these in the 90's and used it to solve a TON of trouble. Mine had a Cerjac undercradle and I mainly used it on PRI and channelized T1 trouble. My telco personnel jacket is chock full of kudos letters from companies, because I used this thing to save them hundreds of thousands of dollars resolving chronic troubles. Thanks for the video- memory lane time!!

I love your show, thank you for sharing what people like you and people like myself really dig. That is a pretty awesome feat

That mouse brought back memories. I used to work in Corvallis Oregon on the Omni book assembly line as a youth. Good times.

That is something that would be used by network technicians at well funded corporations and ISP's to monitor corporate internet usage and analyze network issues

Sheepdog Wrangler The thing payed itself very fast , the clients allmost applaud when we bring it in. It cut days from a tuff network troubleshooting

I worked on a competitor product to this in the UK which used Dolch field portable units containing our own E1/T1 linecards. They were sold or leased out to companies for SS7, V5, R2 protocol testing, bulk traffic generation, switching simulation and passive analysis, but our products were less for LAN/WAN and more for DMS (digital main switches) such as BT's System X, Ericson AXE-10 and AT&T/Lucent 5ESS.

Clint, this may be your most well produced video yet. Keep it up!

Thank you!

That mouse kills me. That being said I love the inclusion of the info panels and such on the sides. It's upped the already high quality of your conent and I'm a huge fan!

I think it is so bad ass that you can own these "god computers" from back in the day. Clint you need the computer from Superman 3.

That pop out mouse is a really interesting idea. I'm surprised I haven't seen some sort of gaming laptop try doing something like that

When you turned it on it sounded like a jet taking off. It's so loud 😯.

That would be a nice computer for some of the radio equipment I run.

ID like to see everyones reaction at a coffeeshop when you bust this sucker out on the table xD

The crazy guy with the giant metal laptop that sounds like a jet engine! Since it's a coffee shop, they'd think he's some next level hipster.

I'd love to see the entire friggin table straight up collapse under the weight of that monster ;D. That'd be hilariously awkward.

I love this!!. this looks like the terminal one would use on a spaceship to initiate self destruct sequence.

@LGR, Those dip switches control the bit flow, parity and such for checking and polarizing whatever signal the tech is troubleshooting. This is also used as a diagnostic for multiplexing connections and such.

1:48 Satisfying LED's.

Oh my god, those dip switches are goddamn gorgeous and holy shit that mouse!!

Love these videos man...

Oh my god that noise when it turns on. POWERFUL

i like the pop up video style fun facts

That thing started up like my vacuum cleaner.

I love these kind of computers. I've never seen them before, and now it makes me happy.

Jeezus, was this video that long ago? I distinctively remember clicking on it shortly after it was uploaded.

Best channel.

Turns on pc *jet engine sounds* I'm scared

Cool, I've maintained HPLC systems from Agilent a lot back when I was a chemist, never knew it was from HP :)

I JUST LOVE THIS MACHINE AND THIS VIDEO... I wish it was longer though

"it's like driving a steamroller into a parking lot" **Dio Brando wants to know your location**

Oddly enough, this could still be used for provisioning T1/E1 circuits, since most LECs still have hardware in place to interface with it. I can almost bet this terminal belonged to 'Ma Bell at one point. For all I know, I used it.

0:05 That screensaver reminds me of that part in Majoras Mask where you're falling down the pit and all these random icons start flying at you. i love it.

OMG the popup mouse! I didn't expect that and never thought I'd see such a thing! XD Wow~ And though I don't understand those programs and its purposes I still think it's nice to see what some people used to work with~

This is how we'd feel about today's $20,000+ Xeon servers 30 years from now. Or so I hope, given how computational power has greatly slowed down its progress in recent years.

I actually think year to year gains will be pretty marginal. Even 20 years from now I bet those servers will be serviceable. Maybe not top-tier tech anymore, but definitely useable.

Really nice video... just needed to be 5 times longer :-)

I have that exact screwdriver you use at 2:55, I took it from my parent's "computer room" back in the day. Small world!

That's what's kinda fun about AMS Neve audio mixing digital consoles. The computers that run the control surface (the 'desk' with all the knobs and buttons) and DSP unit (a computer that adds all the effects to the audio) use Windows XP and Vista. They don't need to be connected to the internet and are designed for a single purpose so they suffice. Although it is quite fun to be playing Solitaire on a 56 channel console and Pinball on a console that is in the process of exporting a short film in 5.1 surround sound. Its unusual, its funny and I shouldn't be doing it but hey, its not something you see every day.

Ah shiiiiit, used one of those back in the late 1990's through the early 2000's. These network analyzers still exist from various vendors, but most in my profession use other more economically available tools.

OLD DAYS LOGIC Bigger = Expensiver

I have actually seen one of these in use when they were hooking the internet up to the corner shop in the 90s.

Still have my HPackard PC from 1996. Was my first PC. Never had the heart of ditching it
