I've never seen an HP-85 closeup, but I used an HP-87 back in the late 1980's when studying EE at a university. Loved doing electronic lab graphs on it. Fun times. I think I still have the manual (looks similar to those HP-85 manuals in your photos).

I have just aquired a huge collection of HP-85 machines and rom pacs, software, hardware and manuals of all types. I have not even begun to sort through it all yet. If you have a specific item you need please contact me at the above email address. I have software on 5.25 disc, disc pacs, new tape cartridges never opened and a bunch of other stuff I will be sorting through in the next weeks including cables and interfaces.

These were called calculators as a sales/marketing ploy. Buyers were having trouble getting purchases for computers approved. However, companies more easily allowed for the purchases of 'calculators'.We actually still use am HP-85 to run a piece of equipment at our facility. Very reliable after 24+ years of service.
