actually it may be even worse, because the "petticoat" looks like the
even rarer 9835A (http://hpmuseum.net/image.php?file=992), which looks
very much like the 9825, but does not have the LED display or printer.
BTW although the monitor on top of the peticoat, looks like an HP
monitor (e.g. like the one used for the HP-86), the 9835A used a
totally different monitor.
