I believe it has PC2622 (precursor to Reflections by WRQ) in ROM? (HP Term
emulator). Anyway, I've got 1 HP-IL cable (from an HP75D) but am still in
search of an appropriate PS.
Perhaps the ones I picked up will fit; I'll have to give it a try?
I was able to drop to DOS, so I'll see if I can get laplink onto it. But
hopefully the floppy drives will work. You wouldn't know what type of HD
is in there, would you?
Toshiba T1000
Very common, but worth $50 on eBay! HP 110
Nice, one of the first clam-shell laptops (after the GRiD Compass, and
before the DG/One). I hope you have HP-IL cables and software! Army surplus or what?
Nope, HMR. Btw, one of the 1520's (iirc) had a sheet of paper taped to it,
a print-out from some fixed assets pgm. Listed the purchase date (iirc) as
12/89, and the original cost as $4800+. Current (depreciated) value is
$0... 8^)
Is the DB25
for an external floppy,
since the HD seems to be where the floppy should be?
Right again. The external floppy seems to be hard to find. I should have
a couple of them later this week, though :-) The HD makes some
rather unhappy noises, though it seems to work fine; anyone have any
suggestions for the best way to get the data/OS off the hard drive in case
of failure? (Just copy to floppies?) It comes up in something called
(iirc) InteGRiD; anyone know anything about this?
InteGRiD is a version of GRiD/OS that you can boot from MS-DOS (usually by
running GRID.EXE). I've never seen InteGRiD in a machine that didn't also
have MS-DOS on it. If you have MS-DOS, you can just use laplink. If you
don't have MS-DOS, you'll need a GRiDServer or a floppy. Reprinted w/o permission from Newsbytes:

Interesting. Toshiba's spec files say it came with MS-DOS 2.11. They seem
to have trouble keeping their model numbers in order. 8^)
