I just received a mint condition HP 110 plus computer from an ex HP
employee. He didn't send me a manual or power cord, so I'm left with some
questions I was hoping some folks could help.
1) I was thinking about hooking this up to my HP 1631D logic analyser.
Connected to my logic analyser is a 9121 floppy drive and 2225 printer. The
9121 and 2225 are hooked up to the 1631D via HP-IB. My 1631 analyser has an
HP-IB port (of course) and an HP-IL port as does the HP110 plus. So can I
hook up the 110 plus to the 1631D via HP-IL, and have the laptop see the
printer and floppy that are hooked up to the 1631 via HP-IB? In essence I'm
asking if the 1631 will act as a hub between the two different types of
connection since it has both. I know nothing about HP-IL.
2) Would anyone have a cable to accomplish the above? I have HP-IB cables
but no HP-IL cables.
3) Um... uh... I have to admit I can't figure out how to turn on the 110
plus. It would appear to have no power switch at all. If my guess as to the
power cable connection on the back is correct, it will require a
non-standard power cable of some type. Anyone have a spare or know where I
can get one?
4) It'd be nice to find a manual for the unit. Anyone have a spare, or know
where a PDF copy is? I'd like to find a complete set of manuals for it and
the apps built into the roms.
Any help is most appreciated!

I'm sure you know this, but Ron Burkey (http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/)
might be interested if this in any way touches on the AGC (which it may
not, I realize).

Hi, my friend Greg (Beermat) is on cctech and says he's not received any
messages since Nov 12th, and that the cctech archives stop at the same
time that his feed seems to have done.

Yeah, I see that message that them indeed, so I probably just overlooked
them on the other one, probably because the mailing list filter moved
the Content-Transfer-Encoding: to the end.

Tsk tsk tsk. You've posted an 8-bit character, and furthermore one of
undefined meaning since there is no charset indication (no Content-Type:
header at all in fact). Aren't you a proponent of ASCII mail like your
signature says? ASCII is 7-bit.
MS,
who reads mail directly as it travels over SMTP without any decoding
whatsoever, and is annoyed as hell by quoted-printable.
I've had several business deals with Marv - he's a stand-up guy, very
pleasant and honest. I've taken the liberty to snip off the rather
extensive list of RF and general-purpose devices, which are off-topic
here.
There might be some chips-of-interest to various of us on The List -
contact him directly if so.
Cheers
John

Yeah, thats pretty much what I have determined, although I will be excercising
more caution when I find mouse "residue" from now on.
This particular machine was in a garage in the middle of Toronto. From what I
have read, the virus is carried by deer mice, which are less likely to be found
in the city. Also there have been no reports of HPS in Toronto (closest is infected
mice found in Northern Ontario which is quite some distance away). So I think the
chances of a problem are minimal - nonetheless, since I'm scheduled for checkup
this week anyway, I think it's serious enough that I'm going to mention my
activities to my doc.
For now, the machine is "double bagged" and not in the house - when I can work
on it outside and with the right precautions, I will see what I can do with it.
One question I have not found an answer to is "How long can the virus remain
alive in a dormant state - outside of a host"?
Most of the information I have seen suggests washing suspected areas with a 10%
bleach solution, and to let it sit for at least 5 mins.
Anyone know if this would be safe for a PCB? Assuming it was immediately rinsed
afterward with distilled water and well dried? - Unfortunately there's a keyboard
included in the PCB assembly...

Thats a good point...
I had no idea it was so bad until I opened it up. Had I known, I might have
left it as well. I hate to toss it, as it's pretty old, but you are right -
I do have to consider the health risk.
Other than gloves, mask and open-air venting, what precautions can be taken.
Is it worth trying to rescue, or should I dump it asap. Interested in opinions.
Regards,
Dave

Well, that is how I mix the ink colors, by weight. Makes doing parts easy.
All major ink manufacturers sell Pantone colors so you can mix whatever color
you want.
The only inks sold in RGB type colors are multiple color process inks and to
blend them it is a process of screens and angles and you need to have multiple
passes through the press.
RGB does not lend itself to printing processes well. It is much cheaper to
print just one color.
John, since you have a Pantone book could you match the numbers to the DEC
stuff you have?
On each color swatch there should be a corresponding number. That is what is
important not the formulation.
You want to ignore the C and U letters as they refer to Coated and Uncoated,
more printing terms. (refers to whether you are printing a clear gloss coat on
top of the ink to get the glossy look or if printed on gloss stock.)
Somewhere DEC published the Pantone numbers in their documents they sent to
printers......
PS Printers are supposed to upgrade their $50 Pantone books every 6 months to
deal with fading, not many I know did that.

I've been contacted by someone interested in getting rid of a Trendata
setup including a video terminal and a print terminal. I'm guessing
that the latter, as a part of a large desk, also contains some sort of
computer. I'm not sure about this, though.
There are a few pictures at
http://www.vintage-computer.com/trendata.shtml
The system is located in Northern Ontario and is free for the
collection. You may be able to convince the owner to ship it, at your
expense, but it's going to be expensive (300 pounds worth of expensive.)
I know almost nothing else, but I'll be happy to put you in touch with
the owner if you are really interested.
