Tony,
Don't worry about it. They're not that rare. It uses a 8 MHz 68000 and
runs HP BASIC, HPL or Pascal. They're not bad machines but they're big and
heavy and take up a lot of room. The ones to look for are the C or even
better a CU. The C indicates a color monitor and the U indicates a 12.5 MHz
68010 (CU has both). Both are pretty scarce. I have seveal of the beasts.
Ask if you have more questions. Or look at my pathetic attempt at a web
page at "
http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/hp9000.htm" for more
information about the 9836 and other 9000 200 series computers.
