          not really- just basic GPIB for either the 9121 floppy or
                      91xx winchester

    Actually I believe that the CPU is inside the 'monitor'!

    Not quite that ancient. Late seventies- early eighties, I believe.

   Check with your local Office of Education. Many school districts used
   HP125 for a number of years and chances are they still have info on
   them - maybe even some hardware you could get.

   If this doesn't pan out send me message at    stanb@hpnmdla.hp.com
   and I will get you in touch with some locals who still use 125's!
