Model/price information based on entries in the yearly "HP Test & Measurement Catalog". Thus, the granularity is a single year. (prices don't include cartridge tape ($1600 extra)/ floppy drives, where available) (I didn't check for discontinuance of any terminal past 1985.) In 1985 , HP suddenly realized how important computers were, so they were moved to the front of the T&M catalog!
