What is an HP98616?

[keith at saracom.com]

For what its worth, I have access to a stack of HP 300 
machines at work.  I think they are mainly 310 machines. 
 I have keyboards too. I have been given the OK to do with 
them as I please.

Unfortunately, we have only 1 drive and its in use in a HP 
Rocky Mountain Basic app. at that.  If I ever finish my 
Labview port, its going home with me :)

Anyway, if anyone is interested, $20 each (my time) plus 
actual shipping costs.  If you are in Lexington KY, stop 
by and grab one or two free!.

BTW, I think it boots the disk.  Least it did on my 
diskettes.  I will have to check to see which option they 
are.
