This came in to me but I can't really help him at the moment. I know some of you HP collectors might be able to help. Contact him at the address below. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 10:55:06 -0400 From: "Richard Rochester" <RRochester(a)getragusa.com> My company has been using an HP9836 to do calculations for a gear shaver sharpening machine. It can no longer be booted up because the main 5.25 drive will no longer read the disk. Do you know of any sources for these machines or parts? We were thinking that we might even be able to rig an external drive that would enable the machine to boot up. I'd appreciate any information you have on the subject. Thanks.
