HP 9825A rescue?

I have the beast om my desk here: The 9825A has option 002 installed (23228bytes op mem) and has 2 modules in its option slots a 98216A module and a 98210 module It powers up and seems to do the basic calculations (1+1=2) :))) On the back is a sticker: Part of 5046A system (never heard of) there are also 3 expansion module like bays in the back - all of them empty ----------- The 9826 unit that came with it powers also up but seems to ask for a disk This unit looks like disk os based - is there anything more to find about it?

They're relatively common in this area but I'm close to several large military contractors and Kennedy Space Center and they use a lot of them. But they are neat machines and seem to run forever. It's probably one of the best machines that HP ever built IMO. They run a OS/language called HPL. It's a cross between APL and BASIC. Lots more details on my website at <http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/hpdcalc.htm>. What model is it? Open the paper cover and see what options it has. Joe
