Hello list,
A couple of questions on the HP150-II...
1) Just how rare are these machines? www.hpmuseum.net rates the HP150-II
with a "rarity factor" of 2/10 (where 10 is extremely rare). Is this
about correct? I know the original HP150 was quite widely used in HP
shops, but I've seen only 2 HP150-II's here in South Africa. I've got
one, and the other was used as a console on an HP3000 series 70.
Rarity does depend on the country in my experience. For examle the BBC
micro is extremely common in the UK, less so in the States.
FWIW, I have an HP150-II with most of the mnauls (including the techref
with the suplement for the -II model) and a fair amount of software.
2) I've already had most of the software available that hpmuseum.net
offers for the HP150; however, anyone got Windows (was it v 1.03?) for
this box?
I am ashamed to admit that I think I haev it somewhere. Be warned it's
painful to use (even worse than later versions of LuseDoze on PCs in some
respsects...)
