I attached a photo of the Petticoat -5 computer that I am saving in my online photo
archive to remind me how far technology has advanced. The Petticoat -5 does have some
similarity of the HP 9825. But I can?t say with certainty that the Petticoat -5 computer
have been builted from the carcass of the HP 9825 calculator/computer.

in the front look exactly like the ROM drawers on the 9825.
Good spot! Now someone's going to get upset that it was maybe gutted to make
a TV prop :)
