Alas, having looked at the manuals on hpmusuem.net, I think the machine 
is somewhat different. The main logic board of the 9817 would seem to 
include an HP-HIL port and a sound circult as standard (there was an odd 
hole in the intneral metalwork of my machine, from the diagrams in the 
manual it would appear this was for an internal speaker). Those are on 
one of the expansion cards in my machine.

I've still not powered it up. I am hoping there is some what to make it 
do something other than act as an SRM server (since I have no more SRM 
stuff...)
