I wouldn't call it
"little". It uses the same CPU (68000) as the 9816,
9826, 9836. The big difference is that the 220 (aka 9920) is a completely
modular system. The keyboard, mouse, disk drives and monitor are all
separate.

I stand corrected. I thought that the 220 was a smaller, earlier
compact system. Thus my comments about the monitors being
hard to find (though such comments certainly apply to the 9836C).
The 200 series
machines are interesting if you have the software.
A LOT of the external HP-IB drives that I find already have 9000 series
200
software on them :-) I'd guess that 40 to 50% of the drives that I find
have BASIC on them.
I never did find 200-specific software, but then I think nobody can
compete with Joe as far as HP stuff is concerned :-) .
