No, I don't know what it is that happens. By the way, this weekend
my I/O ROM started to go flaky; on power up, it reports an error 112,
which is a checksum failure. I remember that this happened before and
reseating fixed it, but I haven't had luck this time. I tried other
slots in the ROM drawer too. Guess I need to pry open the ROM capsule
and have a look. This is weird, because both the pin and the through-hole
that make the contacts are gold-plated; they were made to last. I am
afraid that this is a case of bit rot :-( .

A word of
caution: the 16K RAM module intended for the HP85A can
damage the HP85B. This is clearly stated in one of the manuals.
Interesting... Do you happen to know what damage it actually does? I
assume a bus contention between the controller in the RAM drawer and one
of the memory controllers in the 85B.
