Hi Tony,
To be exact, I've seen _one_ HP150-II with the
touchscreen
-- mine....
Heh, to be honest I've only seen around 5 of the things myself....not
exactly a large sample. :-)
....The touchscreen is built into the CRT bezel, so
you'd
have to have the plain bezel to replace it if you removed
the touchscreen.
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I'd assumed it clipped on over the existing
bezel in some manner, hence making it easily removable.
The hard disk is a GPIB unit, like the floppy drives.
There are
various models that will work....
....FWIW, I have 2 9133s and a 9154 on my 150-II. Oh, and a couple
of 9142 QIC tape drives.
I'll have to keep my eyes open now rally season is starting again. I used to
see a lot of HP drive boxes on sale at them, during the last few years the
supply seems to have dried up somewhat....always the way, you see lots, but
when you actually want one....
TTFN - Pete.
