This weekend was good for finding vintage HP items, but I'm
looking for additional documentation and parts:
1. HP 9836C
Picked up the CPU and monitor, but there were no manuals or media.
The machine boots and displays:
9836C 2250A02013

SEARCHING FOR A SYSTEM (ENTER to Pause)
RESET To Power-Up
At which point it hangs, presumably waiting for an operating system.
Any leads on documentation, operating systems, and additional options
for this computer would be most welcome.
2. HP 98241-67901 I/O Extender
Appears to be for the 9825 series and has a test point for each of the
interface
lines.
3. HP ROM Drawers
These were found loose in a parts bin and they appear to be ROM drawers
for the HP 9825 series of desktop computers. I have three drawers, one with
six slots (all of 'em empty) and two drawers with four slots. Each of the
four-slot
drawers has a single ROM labeled 98338A Assembly Execution 1 (the other
slots are empty). Pictures can be found on my "Items Needing Help" web page
at
www.decodesystems.com/help-wanted/index.html .
Again, any leads on documentation or additional ROMs for these drawers would be
appreciated.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Dan
