The HP 9826 doesn't allow an external monitor from it self.
But you can make use of a DIO-card with a vidoe output mono or rgb and use
another monitor.
The three extra digits are the series it a HP 9000 series 200 model 26 or HP
9826 series 200.
Hp wasn't realy consistent with there naming at the beginning of the series
200.
With the use of a external HP-IB drive like the HP 9121 which is a 3.5" SS
drive you can make use of 3.5 inch disc's.
HP9826 / 36 machines are used for science but also for production automation
and automatic measurement systems.
I got some serie 200's from Erikson and Volvo which were used for
measurement in production systems.

This is an HP 9836 Model 200, a machine I've
been looking
to find for
quite some time. ?It's a Motorola 68k-based
workstation that was
targeted (I believe) at the scientific market. ?It runs a
proprietary
OS and has several languages available for it.
?My next
goal is to try
and generate diskettes for it, which is not going
to be
easy until I
finish getting my IBM PC set up for use at home.
Hey, I've got on of those! Except mine is 9826, with the
built-in small screen and single floppy. Not aware of any
addtional three digits to the number. I would be very
interested to hear of your success in getting OS/program
media for it. Mine turns on and lets me type in BASIC
programs, but it fails to boot off any of the disks it came
with. I have two rom carts in the back, I believe RS232 and
HP-IB, which sounds pretty standard.
If anyone is interested in one, I can collect
email
addresses and send
them to him. ?I believe he is willing to let each
one go
for $25 plus
shipping.
This could be interesting. I wonder, does he have any spare monitors?
I know your model requires it, but I;m not sure if mine allows one.
Seems plenty flat on top to accommodate one.
