Description
HP Vectra VA6/200 D4205N Pentium Pro 200MHz Desktop 3.2GB HDD 96MB RAM ISA PCI
The HP Vectra VA6/200 (model D4205N) is a mid-tower desktop computer from Hewlett-Packard's Vectra VA series, dating from the mid-to-late 1990s. It is powered by an Intel Pentium Pro (P6) processor running at 200MHz — confirmed by onboard diagnostics — paired with 96MB of RAM and a 3.2GB IDE hard drive. The hard drive has been wiped and the system runs with no operating system installed, booting to a DOS C:/ prompt.

Applications
The HP Vectra VA series was HP's business desktop line of the mid-to-late 1990s, designed for corporate workstations running Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. The Pentium Pro processor at the heart of this machine was Intel's high-end P6 microarchitecture introduced in 1995 — optimized for 32-bit code execution and targeted at power users, workstations, and servers rather than the mainstream consumer market. This made Vectra VA6/200 systems popular in engineering, CAD, financial, and scientific workstation roles in the late 1990s. Today, machines like this are sought by vintage computing enthusiasts, industrial operators running legacy DOS or Windows 95/NT software on equipment that requires a specific era of hardware, and collectors interested in the Pentium Pro generation. The ISA slots make it compatible with a wide range of legacy ISA expansion cards, while the PCI slots support more modern (for the era) peripherals. The auto-switching power supply accepts both 100–127V and 200–240V, making it usable internationally.
This HP Vectra VA6/200 Pentium Pro desktop computer has been tested at our facility and is in good working order. It boots to a DOS C:/ prompt on the wiped hard drive, and both the CD-ROM and floppy drives have been tested and read correctly. The case shows normal yellowing and surface wear typical of equipment from this era. The rear plastic cover is beginning to loosen at one corner — the plastic retaining clips have broken off over time, so it no longer seats fully flush.
