LCD are small. Good luck in your search. Now, if
you could find an HP
LogicDart cheap somewhere ......?
I'm pleased to report that I was given an HP LogicDart the other day.
Now, I'm looking for the HP 82240B infra-red printer for it...
It's the same printer as is used with the HP48S/SX/G/GX, the HP41 (with
the IR module), etc. It's a lot easier to find that the LogicDart. I
picked one up from a frined at HPCC along with a lot of other old HP stuff...
Be warend that the IR transmission to the printer is one-way only (no
handshake, even) and is none-too-reliable. I find that perhaps one dump
in 5 is mangled and has to be done again. You also have to position the
LogicDart and printer just right (not easy when you've got the former
balanced on top of a PDP11). The thermal printing doesn't last that long
either (it fases with time), but that's easy to get round by photocopying
(or I guess scanning) the printouts.
