HP 1B Message #2 Posted by Lee Baily on 28 July 1999, 6:22 a.m., in response to message #1 by Lee Baily The question is: :What do I have here?" "Is it a proto type, or what?"

Re: HP 1B Message #3 Posted by Dave Hicks on 28 July 1999, 9:59 a.m., in response to message #2 by Lee Baily Prototypes are typically marked PROTO or have odd serial numbers or some other clue. The description sounds like a normal (non-prototype) 9000 226 computer. It came later than the desktop units shown on this site. I assume the subject line refers the HP-IB interface on the back of the unit?

Re: HP 1B Message #4 Posted by Allen Stegall on 12 Oct 1999, 8:24 p.m., in response to message #1 by Lee Baily It sounds to me like you have a 9826 desktop computer. We sold those in the early-mid 80's. It has a 6 1/2" diagonal display, tape drive(?) and 4 I/O slots in the back. It ran a stand alone Basic or Pascal operating system. The circuit board labeled 09836-96511 is the CPU card which also went inside the 9836 which was similar except it had a 12" display which sat on top of the base unit. The processor for these machines was a Motorola 68000 if I remember correctly. Hope that helps! Allen
