Hey, I have one of those. It's the same shape
and size as a HP 9816.
It's a great little CPM machine. Don M. has a lot of software for it and I
have some of the SW. Somebody has got to save this one!
Joe;
You are thinking of the 120, that is the one that looks like the HP 9816.
The 125 looks like a terminal on a square goose neck. The 125 is a great CPM
computer. However it uses it's own keyboard which I don't think goes with
anything else. I hope the keyboard is there. I also think it uses drives with
the large HP connector that looks like a centronics. I am not sure if it has
HPIB. I think it came before HP standardized on HPIB.
I used to have one many years ago.

You're probably right but they're both great machines.

So do I. I have one, I'll look up the PN later and post it so that anyone
that wants it can check on the keyboard.

I have both models and they both have HP-IB ports. The large SCSI
looking connector is/was actually HP's standard serial connector. I've run
both of my machines off of HP 9121 drives and they work fine (Bill has
several of those drives too.)
I am not sure if it has
HPIB. I think it came before HP standardized on HPIB.

Believe it or not, I have the 120 that you used to have. Dan picked it
up at your auction and traded it to me. I brought it home in my airline
luggage. That's one of the things that I like about the 120, it's nice and
small.
