Note that I didn't try the DOS LIFUTIL (not having a DOS or even Win9x
box around), which is a genuine HP thing and can still be found on the
'net even if all the referenced HP download sites seem to have
disappeared... so that just might still be a workable solution.

OK. What I'd do in that case ... go serial. I understand the B2000 should
be one of the models that bounce the console to the first serial port if
there is no input device... like, if the keyboard and mouse aren't
connected. (but OTOH on a C360 I had to physically remove the graphics
card, for some reason.)
