Hey, I've got on of those! Except mine is 9826, with the built-in
small screen and single floppy. Not aware of any addtional three
digits to the number. I would be very interested to hear of your
success in getting OS/program media for it. Mine turns on and lets me
type in BASIC programs, but it fails to boot off any of the disks it
came with. I have two rom carts in the back, I believe RS232 and
HP-IB, which sounds pretty standard.
If anyone is interested in one, I can collect email
addresses and send
them to him. ?I believe he is willing to let each one go for $25 plus
shipping.
This could be interesting. I wonder, does he have any spare monitors?
I know your model requires it, but I;m not sure if mine allows one.
Seems plenty flat on top to accommodate one.
