New finds .... 2 HP-85's

To all who replied.... many thanks.

One of them had a 16K memory Module (so I guess it's an 85A) and a ROM
drawer with an I/O ROM and a Mass Storage ROM and a HP-IB Interface. I took
a chance after some initial cleaning and powered one up. It worked! But
the keyboard has terrible bounce! It appeared that the printer wanted to
print but without paper in it, I don't know if it does. I plan to
disassemble it for a more thorough cleaning, including removing all the
keycaps and cleaning out the innards of the family of dust bunnies living
there. More weekend cleaning chores!

I will order the CDROM with the manuals - that's the easiest way to get
docs. Are new tapes still available?
