Description
HP Hewlett Packard 9826 All-in-One Computer HP-IB GPIB 98622A For Parts
The Hewlett Packard 9826 is a vintage all-in-one scientific workstation from HP's Series 200 line, integrating a CRT display, built-in floppy drive, and full keyboard into a single desktop chassis. Introduced in the early 1980s, the 9826 ran HP BASIC and was designed for laboratory automation, instrument control, and engineering applications — particularly through its HP-IB (IEEE-488 / GPIB) interface. This unit is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair and is not guaranteed functional.

Applications
The HP 9826 was part of HP's Series 200 family of BASIC-language workstations, released in the early 1980s and aimed squarely at scientists, engineers, and instrument automation specialists. It ran HP BASIC natively from ROM and was designed to control HP-IB (IEEE-488 / GPIB) instruments — oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, multimeters, and other lab equipment — making it a central controller in automated test and measurement setups of the era. The Series 200 machines were widely deployed in university research labs, semiconductor facilities, and industrial R&D environments through the 1980s. Today they are sought by vintage computing collectors, HP instrument historians, and hobbyists restoring period-correct HP lab setups. The HP-IB GPIB interface card (98622A) installed in this unit is itself a collectible component used in HP instrument automation rigs.
This Hewlett Packard 9826 All-in-One Computer is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The unit does power on and the fan runs, but there is no display output. One key is missing from the keyboard. The built-in floppy drive has no power and could not be tested. The unit requires an external power connection to power on. No functionality is guaranteed and it is not warranted to work.
