LMFAO

They both have a single line display and came with around 4K I guess not much else.I should have said similar in computing power and memory though I think the 6502 actually might be much faster then the TTL cpu in the HP despite being only 8bits.

I guess the the correct term for the HP98xxs should be work stations esp the 9845s.I heard they called them calculators at first because in 1972 it was easier for an engineer to convince accounting to pay for a calculator then a computer since a computer at the time usually would cost at least 80K USD.I think the 9830 sold for around 6K a real bargain at the time.Some personal computers of the early 80s such as the Lisa and AT were nearly as expensive even with allowance for inflation.

The 9830A isn't at all similar to the AIM65. How is a fully built scientific calculator with a serialized 16-bit discrete TTL CPU (HP9830A) similar to a single-board 6502 development microcomputer (AIM65)? The 9830, 9825, 9845 etc. were powerful, expensive scientific calculators and engineering computers. They may have been desktop machines but they were not particularly 'personal', and they did not introduce computers to the home market.

The HP9830A of 1972 definitely was a personal computer it's similar the the rockwell aim65 and it eventually lead to the HP9845A/B of 1977 and HP9845C of 1980 which were far more powerful the the IBM PC of 1981.The 9845C was even more powerful then the IBM PC/AT of 1984.

The first MS-Dos PC (HP 150) was introduced in 1984 was better that IBM PC, but not Standard (3.5 inch floppy, higher res diplay...)Before this HP produced "HP 125" a CPM personal computer with Visical as spreadsheet and a word processor (word ? i don't rememeber exactly the name)
