HP 2116 restoration: Feasiblity and "what to look for" advice needed!

Jules,? Excellent! That's really helpful. I've seen a crate of 21xx cabling and gubins as ?which?needs?investigated, and there's a whole room of HP goodies to sort, not to?mention a handful of later related systems. I have the tape drive back at the house for a clean and checkup. It looks pretty hopeful, but will need a few things. -Colin Eby Jules Richardson <jules.richardson99 at gmail.com> wrote: Colin Eby wrote: Hi Colin, I'll save you a little bit of effort (at least on the 'B'), as here's my catalogue of the very same machines from four years ago :-) ?? http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/2007-November/063044.html ... although I never did get chance to look into whether the 'B' system had any 'hidden' core. It was about a fortnight after posting that message that all my visa stuff went through and I hopped the Atlantic permanently to the US,? so I never did get the chance to do any more with either system. cheers Jules
