Because the Integral was designed by Corvallis Division, as a
followon/replacement for the 80 series, and all the other 9000 machines
were designed by Fort Collins Division.

Yes. I'm sure the 9830 influenced the developers of the 85.
Technical

9915? The rackmount
85. was first
called Technical BASIC on the 9807A Integral, but later was
available for HP-UX on other 9000 systems.
There were enough differences between the two that many customers
complained about the lack of Rocky Mountain BASIC for the Integral.
Now that I can
well understand. While I love the Integral, I do wonder
why it was made so different to the 9000/200 machines. I wish it took the
same I/O cards, for a start...
