Let me know if you don't track it down. I'm pretty sure I have a copy of
the HP-85 CP/M software in one of the boxes in the bookcase behind me. I
got an HP-85 at a yard sale a couple of years ago that included two dual
3.5" disk drives, a bunch of manuals and carts and five shoeboxes full of
disks. I remember seeing a CP/M cartridge and docs, so I'm pretty sure the
software would turn up.

5. Two HP model 9130A floppy disk drives.
Those are the disk drives for the original HP 86. The later 86B used
HP-IB drives but on the 86 the drives connected directly to the main chassis.
6. hp 86 with 82936A rom drawer, 82937A HP-1B
interface module,82900A
CP/M system module, and a 82909A 128K memory module.
Nice setup! I THINK I know where I can lay my hands on a copy of the
CPM SW for the module. I had four or five of the modules and finally gave
them away after I couldn't find the SW. THEN I finally found it! I did
have a manual for the CPM modules and I can probably borrow it back.
7. hp 97 calculator missing adapter and battery.
The adapter puts out 8 volts AC. The battery has four sub-C NiCad
cells so it has 4.8 volt output. It should be easy to find an AC adapter,
the adapters that are used for the rechargeable battery packs in the
HP-41 and for nearly all of the HP-IL devices fits and works fine on the
97. I frequently find these types of chargers in the surplus stores. I
found so many of them that I just quit them. FWIW the charger is not
adaquete to run the 97 without the battery however you can it off a
decent power supply connected to the battery terminals.
