Both are still worth saving. The 735 is a Early PA-RISC  would need a
HIL type keyboard/mouse or a serial terminal to boot.  The 9000-3xx
uses the same keyboard and mouse.   Has no internal storage and Uses 
HP-IB interface.  So if complete, it would have at least an external hard
drive.  

- The 735 is  a Large PC desktop size but only 4" high.  The 9000-3xx
are about the size of a  small desktop.  13"W  16"L   6"H . The drives 
and C-tape all stack on each other and are all HP-IB interface.  Some of
the  later  380's  and 384s had SCSI interface also.
