I just inherited a new toy. An HP 735 192MB ram (2) 1GB drives and 20 in
monitor. I was all ready to play, but an important component is missing.
Does anyone know where I can get a keyboard for this beast without giving up
my first born. I really like him. Or a cheap PS/2 to HP-HIL adapter would
be even better.

Arnie,
I don't thing there is such a thing as a PS-2 to HP-HIL adapter. But
I'll send you a keyboard and mouse for the cost of postage.

I am new to your group. I have a Victor 9000 (I believe it was called a
Sirus 9000 in Europe) that has a problem on the motherboard. Does anyone
have a schematic, or technical data for this machine. I was a 286, but
everything is very non-standard.

It was called a Sirius I here. I have about four of them.

I may even have a service manual, too.

It's an 8088 or an 8086, isn't it? Pre-dates the 286 by
quite a while. And it pre-dates "standards" like the IBM
PC, too! But it does have the highly original
variable-speed disk drives. Anyone got the software that
plays music on them?

Bill,
I used to have manuals for the 9000 but I sold them. You might try
contacting the buyer, Grant Zozman <gzozman(a)escape.ca>ca>, and see if he can
help you.

I/O uses standard parts, but it's a little odd to

It makes sense when you learn Chuck Peddle designed the Sirius/Victor
9000.
