I'd like to find an HP 9831. I wrote a fair amount of software for it
back in 1981 or so, but haven't seen one since. I know Tony has one,
but he's across the pond (Atlantic Ocean) and wouldn't part with it
in any case.
Is that obscure enough?
I have hundreds of computer magazines from the
seventies and eighties.
I rarely see an ad for HP 9830 but I see ads for IMSAI, Altair and
other
mentioned machines a ton.
For the terminally curious, I have a scan of an ad for the 9830 here:

This may be a good time to ask again if anyone has a copy of the
Service Manual for the HP 9830. If so, please contact me off-list.
Cheers,
Dan
