No, I'm implying that HP's very rarely need component level debugging.
It seems your average HP 21MX will have a lot fewer hours on it than an
11/35 or an 11/34.

Here here!
And its about time too.
Jay's been spoiled working with HP's too long, and the next thing he need
to
check is where he's left his o-scope.
I hope you're not implying that HP machines can't be repaired properly
(to component level) as well. YEs, many HP 'service manuals' were just
boardswapper guides, but there are unofficial schematics of many HP
calculators (including desktops) available from Dave Colver at HPCC.
We've not attacked any minicomputers -- YET!

Bummer as I
have no spare cpu cards. But I guess at this point I still
don't
I am going to get you to repair that machine properly -- without
swapping
boards -- even if I have to get on the next p'lane across the Pond and
show you where to stick your 'scope probe ;-)
