Oh hey, a 9000/340 in the Cambridge area. Almost certainly that originated with the university's Engineering department, who back in the 1990s got rid of a lot of these machines that they had been using as X terminals. My notes say they had six diskless workstations to each server, and kept the monitors to use with the replacement machines, which would explain why this person's 9000/340 has no disk or monitor.
Some truly terrible quality pictures of the one I used to own are at https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~pmaydell/hardware/tiroth/ https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~pmaydell/hardware/tiroth... (I have long since disposed of it). Some of the people who got the machines had a play around with getting Linux booting on them. Amazingly some of that code is still in the kernel, eg drivers/net/ethernet/amd/hplance.c so it might even still work ;-)
