HEWLETT-PACKARD HP 9830 CALCULATOR/COMPUTER
I am interested in acquiring and preserving the HP 9830 and associated peripherals, manuals and other documentation, including the hardware to use the HP 9880 mass storage system (HP 11273B Plug in ROM block, HP 11305A Controller, HP 9867A and/or HP 9867B Disc Drive Memory, and HP 12869A Cartridges).
If you have any of this equipment or know where to find it, please send me an e-mail.

The HP 9800 Model 30 (HP 9830A) was introduced in 1972. It came with built-in BASIC language and 4K bytes of RAM. It had a full keyboard, 32-character LED display (alphanumeric) and a cartridge tape drive.

Later, mass storage was available via the HP 9800 Mass Memory Subsystem.
