The 5046A was an IC testing system-It comprised the 5045A tester and the
9825S with 9866B printer-HPIB interconnections.
The 9825S was the A with more memory and additional ROMS. (23k2 bytes v.
6k8 in the A--wow!)

Subject: RE: HP 9825A rescue?
I have the beast om my desk here:
The 9825A has option 002 installed (23228bytes op mem) and has 2 modules
in
its option slots
a 98216A module and a 98210 module
It powers up and seems to do the basic calculations (1+1=2) :)))
On the back is a sticker: Part of 5046A system (never heard of)
there are also 3 expansion module like bays in the back - all of them
empty
-----------
The 9826 unit that came with it powers also up but seems to ask for a disk
This unit looks like disk os based - is there anything more to find about
it?

Hi Folks,
I am not familiar with the old HP calculators.
The local junkyard has a HP 9825A desktop calculator they can't sell
They intend to demolish it next week - is it worth saving it? or is the
world full of it?
Why can't they sell it?
- is it worth saving it?
Yes but it sounds like you don't have any choice.
or is the
world full of it?
They're relatively common in this area but I'm close to several large
military contractors and Kennedy Space Center and they use a lot of them.
But they are neat machines and seem to run forever. It's probably one of
the best machines that HP ever built IMO. They run a OS/language called
HPL. It's a cross between APL and BASIC. Lots more details on my website <http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/hpdcalc.htm>.
What model is it? Open the paper cover and see what options it has.
