HP 82059D 110v to 6v AC power adapter ?

by kla＠helios.augustana.edu

Following my earlier post requesting more information on the HP 110+ Portable Plus MS-DOS computer (model 45711E), I am on the possible lookout for an HP power supply, Model no. 82059D which would have supplied 6V to this Portable Plus computer from the 110v US mains. Apparently this same power adapter worked with other HP parts, so may exist more commonly. Anyone have a working one to part with? My apologies also for saying that Mike Simms' FAQ on the 1xx series of HP portables did not provide the information needed -- indeed it did. I just did not read close enough. Sorry, Mike! thanks for any help. Cheers, Kevin Anderson Bismarck, North Dakota, USA home: K9IUA(a)juno.com (alternate: kla(a)helios.augustana.edu)

power supply for HP 110 Portable Plus ?

by kla＠helios.augustana.edu

My son was given an HP Portable Plus (Model 110 I believe). It looks good, complete with Word and Lotus in the software "drawer". Unfortunately it lacks the external power supply/ recharger, so I don't know if it works. Can anyone tell me what power supply I need and/or the power requirements? The HP150faq does not give those types of specifics that I can see. Thanks.

Rescue opportunity

by kyrrin＠bluefeathertech.com

Hey, folks, I may have an opportunity to pick up a "DataPoint" system... the one with the CPU in one module, storage in another, and they all sit on the floor (or table -- they're small!) and stack together side-by-side, joined with bus connectors on said sides? Each module is powered by an external 36VDC switcher module that runs from standard house power. I do like what I collect to be useful in some way, so I'd like to know what OS's I could use with the system, and if there are any 'gotchas' where hardware is concerned. Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.

Pied Piper by STM Electronics Corp - the review in brief

by agraham＠ccat.co.uk

Pied Piper Communicator 1 Specs: (eep - it cost ukp1000 in 1984!) Processor: Z80A RAM: 64K plus 2K screen memory ROM: 2K bootstrap, 2K character generator Text screen: 80x40 or 40x24 Graphics: none Keyboard: 64 moving keys, full size Interfaces: STO bus and Centronics Storage: 820K 5 1/4" disk OS: CP/M It also came with 3 packages, Perfect Filer (database), Perfect Writer (guess) and Perfect Calc (guess), although the reviewer is most critical of them! He also whinges about the 80 column screen mode that he can't get working and also that while CP/M 2.2 is the OS for the machine and there's bundles of software available he appears to be wishing it came with its own OS to make it stand out! Odd. I can scan the article if anyone needs more info, but TBH the review wasn't written by a technical journalist, eg he doesn't go into any detail as to what the STO bus is....I think the tech specs came straight from Canada and the pre-release model he had didn't include such things. He DID however, mention the possibility of an external floppy, hard drive, RS232 port and modem. a a
