Hi All

Amongst various items retrieved from storage recently I found a spare
circuit board for the 82937A HPIB interface from the HP85 series of
computers.

It's just the board, no case or cable, and I remember buying it as a
supposedly new spare when using an HP83 on a research project in the
early 80s.
With it are photocopies of the instruction manual for the 82937A and the
assembly level service manual for the HP85, both a bit faded now but usable.

This board was never needed and, a bit embarrassing to admit here:-), I
eventually traded in the HP83 for an Osborne 1.

Does anybody know if there's any demand for HP85 series parts these days?

regards
