I forgot to mention that the machines are located in Largo, FL.

Ok, I found it on EBay, but I consider it a rescue.

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.
There's more information available at

I don't know if anyone would be interested in something like this, but
the seller has several more of these (they were apparently in a
warehouse he was asked to liquidate) and he's had some trouble finding
buyers. ?The biggest issue is shipping them. ?This is an 85 pound
machine and it cost about $80 to ship it to me UPS Ground (I didn't
get the chance to ask him to use a different shipper).
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.
