[cctalk] Re: HP9825A for sale

I decided to buy the 5120 from this same seller, which is how I can vouch for him. It's already damaged, so I don't feel as guilty having it shipped. (no we don't know the exact damage, but by June VCF I'll probably have it opened up and see more on what's going on there) For the HP, I think it's a fair asking price because of all the cables, manuals, and accessories that he's got -- he's got all the SerialIO stuff, so it would be a fun project (to me) to try to write a terminal program and get that calculator on the internet :) Just I've got too many projects going on right now - and after the 5120, I'll really be struggling for space. But yes, he's at a point where he just needs to clear out space, which is why he might even go half his asking price (especially for a local pick up)? I think he's going to post it on eBay within the next month. As for rarity - I'm not sure. I think the HP9825 is actually from the year 1976 (that should be good for having a more recent power supply, so more likely to remain as a working system?), so a HP9830 would be a more sought out item. Also the 9825 uses HP's "HPL" (or something), not quite "normal BASIC." And if no "monitor" or machine code input is available, not sure how much custom software could be written. -Steve On Mon, Apr 17, 2023 at 11:18 AM Sellam Abraham via cctalk < cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt; wrote:
