I've never heard of the HP Digital Slide Rule. Do you have photos and/or more 
details?

I am familiar with the first HP desktop calculator (9100A) that inspired their 
first handheld calculator (HP-35). The HP-35 was a ten-digit calculator that 
was released in 1972 for $395.

The first one I remember is the HP Digital Slide Rule, about 1965. Six digits. 
$600.
