I am in the market for this option as well, after Al is taken care of if he
needs it.

Does it have the 800 bpi option board?
I haven't yet unboxed it. I took photos of the outside of the destroyed box
to send to the shipper. The front bottom left corner of the 88780 is
visible through a hole in the box, and is visibly mangled.
I'll take more photos as I unbox it tonight.
Based on the service manual, it appears that option 800 requires:
* buffer PCA 07980-6xx14 (512K) or 07980-6xx34 (1M)
* read/write/formatter PCA 07980-6xx31
Were there any other hardware changes for option 800? If not, one wonders
why HP documentation is adamant that it cannot be field-upgraded to option
800.
