HP 9825A rescue? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

28 Aug 2003

I have the beast om my desk here:
The 9825A has option 002 installed (23228bytes op mem) and has 2 modules in
its option slots
a 98216A module and a 98210 module
It powers up and seems to do the basic calculations (1+1=2) :)))
On the back is a sticker: Part of 5046A system (never heard of)
there are also 3 expansion module like bays in the back - all of them empty
-----------
The 9826 unit that came with it powers also up but seems to ask for a disk
This unit looks like disk os based - is there anything more to find about
it?

 Hi Folks,

I am not familiar with the old HP calculators.
The local junkyard has a HP 9825A desktop calculator they can't sell
They intend to demolish it next week - is it worth saving it? or is the
world full of it? 
  Why can't they sell it?

 - is it worth saving it? 
   Yes but it sounds like you don't have any choice.

...
 or is the
world full of it? 
   They're relatively common in this area but I'm close to several large
military contractors and Kennedy Space Center and they use a lot of them.
But they are neat machines and seem to run forever. It's probably one of
the best machines that HP ever built IMO. They run a OS/language called
HPL. It's a cross between APL and BASIC. Lots more details on my website at
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/hpdcalc.htm>.

  What model is it? Open the paper cover and see what options it has.

 It looks complete and has only some minor estetic
damage.

 Hello, all:

	Does anyone have a copy of some old BBS software for the PC
platform, like WildCat, that I could get a copy of? I'd like to do some file
 transfer testing among my classic platforms and
thought an internal BBS
would be a clean way to do it.

	Thanks.

Why don't use telemate, procomm or zock and use their internal host
like personal bbs ?

BBSen even here

http://www.eunet.bg/simtel.net/msdos/bbs.html

and here look for telix or telemate
