I didn't see the original.
Philip Freidin (www.fliptronics.com) is a friend of mine who is doing a
3.2Ghz FPGA. Yes, it takes a level of skill most of us don't posses but
I've seen it protos running on his work bench. Doing 1Ghz for him would
probably be rather straight forward.

Unfortunately, I think this one is MS-DOS. :)

This person needs the Internal Data Specifications for the HP71. He's
writing a multitasking OS for the HP71. Can you help him?

IDS is three volumes of Internal Design Specifications.
All about the hardware and software, including the OS listing.
>What would you be needing this for?
The HP71 processor is used on other calcs, like the HP48, and I'am
developing a multitasking OS for this calc.
I think there was some interesting software in the HP71, the Fort/Assembler
pack for example.
This can be a great help.
Thanks for your reply.

It's targeted at an entirely different market than color lasers, so
that's not really a valid comparison. But yes, the Phaser III output
is *really* impressive.

Well, I had some exposure to a Phaser III, but it's been a while, and I
don't think I've ever seen anything like the above message.
I suppose you've gone through the whole "check the cables, make sure
nothing's stuck, check for grilled cheese in the ink-wells" thing? (The one
I used, at least, was a thermal transfer printer. Very nice.)
I might also suggest removing the cables, and if there's a NIC, pulling it
to see if that's the fault location.
Otherwise, it's unfortunate that most people/institutions don't have the
good taste to purchase such printers ;) I'd have liked to have more
exposure to them.

I've had no problem with them -- they stick a little sometimes, but that's
not too much trouble. I'd rather that than have them fall out. :)

What about just botteling it? And cut it with what ever oil they use too?

You could say that. Unless, someone figures out a computerized (like, using
a Vax 9000?) tracking and pee-spraying system...
