HP 9800 series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the HP 9816, 9817, 9826, 9836 and 9837 computers, see HP 9000.
The HP 9800 is a family of what were initially called programmable calculators and later desktop computers that were made by Hewlett-Packard, replacing their first HP 9100 calculator. It is also named "98 line". The 9830 and its successors were true computers in the modern sense of the term, complete with a powerful BASIC language interpreter.
