Well, um, no. If you made me guess which HP system, I'd say HP125,
which was a CP/M machine built into a 262X terminal body.
But I'd be a little bit surprised that it's not dressed up as an HP
product. HP was doing that with Microsoft products in the mid-1980s,
e.g. the Microsoft Pascal compiler for the HP150.
