-
- Apparently the HP Integral Personal Computer. Number is 9807,
- I believe. This has 512x 255 EL display, 512K of built-in RAM,
- and UNIX on ROM. Also, there is internal 710K floppy drive and
- built-in Thinkjet printer. Micro is a MC68000 at 8 MHz.
-
- An HP-IB interface is built-in. Serial interface, more memory
- etc. can be plugged into the two expansion slots.
-
- A hard drive (eg 9133L) can be connected to the HP-IB interface.

- > 2) What version of the one true OS did it run?
-
- Early versions ran HP-UX 1.0; this was later upgraded to HP-UX 5.0.
- (Unix in a a plug-in ROM, so upgrade is easy).

-
- Started in 1985 and they were discontinued sometime in the late

- I have some to sell. Anyone interested? Unfortunately, delivery
