No, I don;t think so. HP component part numbers are off the form xxxx-xxxx (2 4-digit groups) where the first group essentially gives the type of component (1820 == digitial IC, 1826 == linear IC, 1853 == PNP transistor, 1854 == NPN transistor, 9100 == transformer, etc). HP subassembly part numbers are of the form xxxxx-xxxxx (2 5 digit groups), where the first group is the model number of the instrument/option where it was first used. For example, the CPU control board in an HP98x0 machine is an 09810-66513. It was first used in the HP9810 (and was also used in the 9820, 9830 and 9821). The fact that most HP transformers have 9100-zzzz numbers doesn't mean they were all used in the HP9100 calculator. I've seen plenty of HP hooded card edge connectors, ceertainl in 0.125" and 0.156" pitch (and problably 0.1" too). A common one is a 44 pin (22 pins each side) 0.125" one (very hard to find in non-HP stuff). As regards the 0.156" ones, I've certainly seen 15 pins/side and 18 pins/side ones used in HP instrumetns. 24 pins would not suprise me. -tony

I do know we used to have a pair of HP1000s (that I posted about late last year), so I was just guessing about that bit. There's not much HP stuff of recent vintage here, but I'm sure 15+ years ago, it was a different story. -ethan -- Ethan Dicks, A-333-S Current South Pole Weather at 2-Jul-2008 at 17:40 Z South Pole Station PSC 468 Box 400 Temp -81.9 F (-63.3 C) Windchill -121.1 F (-85.1 C) APO AP 96598 Wind 10.8 kts Grid 46 Barometer 680.7 mb (10602 ft) Ethan.Dicks at usap.gov http://penguincentral.com/penguincentral.html
