Hmm ... not so sure that you didn't talk to the wrong person.  I will check
around.  I think you CAN get a service kit - though you may have to pay plenty
for the courtesy.

Will call back later.

I need schematics and any other helpful information relating to the
HP 87 computer. I sent a letter to HP in Oregon and they say nope;
technical information is available only to their field people. 

That's right unneighborly I'd guess for a company trying to get a leg up
on the personal computer ladder.

I checked up on HP-87 schematics.  One of the problems is that it is an
obsolete product, so support on it is not necessarily a high priority.

However - you can buy an HP-87A service manual from HP-Computer Supplies
Organization (CSO) at 1-800-538-8787.  The part number is 00087-90016,
the cost is $50.00.

This only covers the 87A version.  There is an update for the 87XM, but I
cannot seem to find it.  If you require this update, drop me a note over the
Net, and I will run off a copy.
