Depending on details, it may be that you have stumbled on one of the
best possible systems in the world for what you're interested in.  As an
HP Systems Engineer for Desktop Computers in the El Paso office several
years ago, I was involved with the NASA satellite tracking operation
just East of Las Cruces.  It's been too many years to remember names or
organizations, but I remember a couple of engineers out there performing
miracles with the 9836 running BASIC, including instrument control,
graphics and some complex math.  If you want more information, get hold
of the HP El Paso Sales Office (915-833-4400) and track down the Sales
Rep supporting the NASA facility in Las Cruces.  He may be able to refer
you directly to the engineers who worked on that project.

Good Luck!
