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,

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.

Hi,
There's an HP 7978A tape drive (HP-IB, 6250 BPI) available
for free (I think), for pickup in Sacramento, CA.
The drive is currently in-use, working (AFAIK).
This is a 5' high cabinet, about 3' deep, 2.5' wide.
Email me if you're interested.

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!

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.

No problem - I've got to get up to my house today to get my bin back in
before some lowlife nicks it ('steals it' for non-brits :) I know exactly
where the mag is so I'll get something typed up or scanned later on.
