I wouldn't be too sure. I mean it sure does sound
like a peecee, but there first real peecee was the 286

I am somewhat familiar with the 9xxx's you're
referring to. In fact I think I used them at an old
job. IIRC the very one had a 68000 (or could have been
a 68010, can't really remember).
According to your description, it may very well have
been a 9836.
Anyone have a clue as to what I have? I'm sure some
of you have to have those hard bound HP catalogs

I suppose if it is an ISA bus, I could plug a cpu
card from a Zenith Z-148 or the like and go to town.
The AT & T 6300 was similar, but different yet, and
was 8086 based besides.
The monitor I also acquired with that HP box is a 12"
