HP-150 Touchscreen

...

  One thing that I did not get with the machine was
the HPIB cable to
 connect it to the 9121 disk drive unit (which may need a bit of
 attention).  [...]  Are these cables hard to find?  
 If they're the same as the HP-IB cables I have to go with my HP
 9000/300 machines (and peripherals, such as 7958 disks), I have more 
They almost certainly are. They have plug-and-socket 24 pin microribbon 
conencotrs on each end so you can stack them. It';s certainly the same 
cable as I use with all my HPIB stuff, including 9000/200 machines.

All HP150s will have the metric (M3.5) jackposts. I would be very 
suprised if anything you have has the older 6-32 UNC ones,though. So it 
should just plug straight in. 

As an asdie, if anyone has a pair of the jackscrews (used on teh cables) 
with 6-32 UNC threads I am looking for a pair. My HP59309 clock has the 
older jackposts. Yes, I could trivially repalce them, but I  would like 
to keep it original, so I would modif a cable to work with that alone.
