    I also bid on it but I decided to let you have
it since I have several of
 them already. 
Nice of you.  I would have done the same.  Maybe :-) 
   Actually I think I bid on in it BEFORE you did.

    There's at least three vesions, the A, the
B and a T.  The latter ones 
Mine is a B according the badge above the keyboard, but there's a sticker
on the printer paper cubby door that says 9825T.  It also says something
about a plotter I don't have. 
  Probably the 9862 or 9872.  The are different ROMs for each. The plotters
are the same except the 9872 can also digitize.  I have a 9862.

I take it those are language extension ROMs.  I've got Matrix. 
   Yes, they add more functions similar to the plug in ROMs in the HP 41 or
HP 71.

You have lots of docs?  Can I take that as a subtle offer to copy
useful docs? :-) 
  Er ahh no, they're are entirely too many of them!  But I am going to thin
them out as soon as I have time.

    There are also two very different keybaords
used on them.  The 9825 at
 the bottom of your picture has the full travel keyboard.  They're more
 desireable. 
More desirable to whom?   
  To everyone but you I guess!

...
 I like the odd-ball full qwerty calc-style
keyboard on mine much better than a normal keyboard! 
   Then you should be happy!  I just posted a list of the configurations of
my 9825s.  About half of mine have the full travel keys.
