I also know that Gail Roth as manuals for it that she's been trying to sale on E-bay. I think she only got one bid and only for one manual. Info: These are similar to the 9816 (9000 series 216) and 9826 (9000 series 226) and the 9837. The 9836 is also called a 9000 series 236. They all use 8 MHz 68000 CPUs except the U versions, they have a 12.5 MHz 68010. They'll all run HPL, Pascal and BASIC. The languages are available on ROM cards or disk based. I have all of them on disk but the ROM cards are rare. I have a couple of them with BASIC but I've never found the HPL or Pascal versions. Hmm. that looks like the part number for an individual part. Look and she if you can find a model number for the whole thing. It should be simply a four or five digit number with no dash number. Oh, Ok then I know what it is. Does it plug into a interface slot on the back of a 9825, 9835 or 9845 and have right angle bend in it? If so it's an entender for working on interfaces. They're ROM drawers for a 9835. Joe PS you can't replace the surface of the 9872 plotter. It has wires embedded in it that carry the high voltage that's used to create the static charge that is used to hold the paper to the surface.
