If it is supposed to look like this, then mine is missing the keyboard,
floppy drives, and prob a few other things.
There is a 256K memory card in it.

Its gone. All 1300 lb of it. A recycler gave me steel scrap price for it,
about $75.
I'll get in touch with a couple of you regarding some of the items that I
kept.

Thanks to a tip froma list member, I managed to snag a compatible
keyboard for my HP 9816 -- a "Nimitz" class keyboard, the
98203B(http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=682).
It works fine (though it dwarfs the machine it's connected to) except
that the "knob" in the upper-left does not appear to function. I've
looked for service manuals but I can't find anythingthat's particularly
detailed.
I've partially disassembled the knob unit-- there's a glass/ceramic disc
with radial markings, and with what appearsto be an incandescent bulb on
one side and a pair of sensors on the other. The bulb does not appear to
be illuminating when powered up (it does seem to be getting 5V),so this
seems suspect but I don't know whether it's supposed to be emitting
visible light or not. I also don't know what to replace it with.
Anyone repaired one of these before?
I'm guessing Tony'll havesome input here :).
Thanksas always,
Josh
