Does anyone have an HP Integral?  I never hear or read any mention of this
machine in the micro literature - seems it has never caught on.

Topics of interest to me:
- programs in the public domain
- info. & details for porting stuff to the Integral
- HP BASIC usage & syntax
- means of using other peripherals than HP's (e.g. hard disk, modem)
- anything cheap that will plug into the HPIB port
- rumors & gossip
- Is Interex worth it for the Integral user?
- Is there anyone at HP who uses one & answers questions?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I don't own one, but have played around with it a little.

The latest version has a system V kernel in ROM.  AT&T oriented (i.e.
not sockets) code should port trivially.  HP has a technical software
catalog that lists many of the 3rd Party software available.  Your
local HP sales office should be able to tell you how to get one.

Same as the HP 85, if you know about that. REALLY nice, with real-time
instrument control; almost as nice as the HP200/300 (9836), but not as
fast.

RS 232 is available, no SCSI I/F.

How cheap?

Me.
There was a really nice write up in the March '85 UNIX/World when it was
introduced (with System III).
