I sent this earlier but it never re-appeared here so I'm sending it again.
I found some odd looking HP 1000 cards yesterday. Can anyone identify them? I THINK they're for the A-series HP 1000s. They have three gold connectors on them that look like an over-sized SMA connectors. The connectors don't have lugs, posts or threads on them but are about the size of a BNC connector. Next to the connectors are the letters R G B. There are several numbers on them but I think the part number is 12065-60001. They have a NEC 7220 Graphics controller IC and a 68008 CPU on them along with some other large ICs that are unmarked.
I also found some other HP 1000 cards. I think I know what they are but if anyone feels like adding some details be my guest! Here are the board numbers and markings on the pull tabs (if they have them). 12040-60214 (8 ch Mux), 12060-60101 (12 bit ADC), 12061-60001 (32 ch Mux) (these two may be a set),
12009-69020 (HP-IB), another 12060-60101 (12 bit ADC).

Hill if you are getting a grinding noise you may not have a daisy wheel in the slot or if you do it is not being read when it rotates. You also may not have a ribbon installed properly.. Yes I do know this machine as I sold and repaired them for Xerox for 10 years.. let me know.. Andy in Eureka Ca
I know this message is dated but I was wondering if you still had the HP 150
owner's guide and the series 100 PCF. Is that the version of the PCF that
will run on the HP 150? If so does it matter what what version of the HP
150 (A,B,C)?
Thanks,
Nate
Thanks Sellam, I'll keep that in mind. You'll understand, I hope, if I
keep looking for one to acquire. I'd feel a little uncomfortable with
something on loan if I let the project languish for a while (which, of
course, NEVER happens...). I do have a nice 22 slot CompuPro S-100
cage, but mostly 8 bit S-100 gear.
I'm open to any 32k based system, though I don't think I could fit an
Encore or Sequent into the garage at the moment. Tektronix made some
workstations, but I've no further information about them. Nat Semi had
some interesting looking eval boards and systems.
Anyway, if anyone finds something 32k-related that needs a home, please
keep me in mind.
Thanks,
--Steve.

Ok, I found this on it (I didn't mean to send my other email until I was
done searching). This is from an old TidBits newsletter:

Neatest Product: The WristMac, from Ex Machina (published by Microseeds
Publishing), is a Seiko wristwatch that stores up to 80 two-line
"screens" of data, such as phone numbers, appointments, and to-do lists,
complete with an interface cable that connects to a Mac serial ports, so
you can use the included HyperCard 2.0 stack to enter and manipulate the
data. You can even have the watch's alarm function alert you of the
appointments that you've entered into the database.

There is a picture here (not a good one)

It sounds like it might have been an off shoot of the same watch made for
the Apple II.

Humm... I don't remember the one I am thinking of having an interface
box. I think it just had a mini-din 8 to 1/32" phono plug that plugged
into the side of the watch.
Maybe the one I am thinking of was a repackaged version (or an updated
version). I'll have to do some searching to see what I can find.
Thanks

I got this on a Mac swap list today. Maybe someone in or near London
wants to follow up and snag themselves a free Lisa Profile drive. (Or if
someone wants to grab it for free, but doesn't want it, I'll be happy to
pay shipping to have it sent to the US)

Are these the watches that were sold in the late 80's and could interface
with the Mac? I think they used a hypercard stack to download data to the
watch, which I think was pretty much just plain text.
I don't remember what the watch was called, but I think it might have
been made by Seiko. I think they sold for about $100 new... I always
wanted one, but never had the spare cash :-(
