I love the old HP calculators. The 9100's are one
of the most elegant
electronic calculators ever built in my opinion. Doing all that with
just transistors, and in the compact size of the machine is simply
amazing.
I absolutely ageee. The HP9100 is one of the most elegant devices it's
ever bene my pleaser to work on. It is truely beautiful.
Incidentally, the 9800 series machines are one of the few bit-seiral
TTL-based desktops you're likely to find. They too are quite elegant
inside, albeit using TTL chips not discrete transistros. IMHO they are a
lot easier to repari than the 9100 (I've done both), and certainly a lot
easier to itnerface.
