That would be wrong, we went to a retail price based GST of 10% on 1 July from a wholesale price sales tax of 22%. It's likely the site has not been updated yet. I can get these through a local office machine supplier for around $8 ea incl tax. They are still quite easy to get.

I am currently on 'inactive' status as far as classic computer collecting goes, so my participation on the List has been mostly in R/O mode. My old (+7 years!) ISP has seen fit to discontinue all it's Unix Shell accounts effective Sept 30 of this year. I have therefore signed up with another old-line ISP, panix.com in New York. Should any of you on the list be considering changing your ISP for any reason, especially if you are primarily a telnet user.. I can highly recomend them. Their customer service has been a) excellent and b) proactive; a state of affairs unheard-of in my years on the Net. Since I am now living and working in Southern India, I have bestowed my collection en masse to a couple of Listmembers and will not be actively pursuing the hobby for a year or two. Getting a full-blown 11/44 system thru checked baggage is one thing, but dealing with Indian customs..... ;) I would like to take this small opportunity to publicly thank each and everyone of you one the List who help to preserve these old beasts, and also I would like to thank Allison, Megan, Tim, Sellam, Bruce, Marvin, Tony Duell, Eric, Don Maslin, Hans Franke, Eliot Moore, and all the rest who took time and effort to help me unravel DEC as it was meant to be. I have unsubbed the netcom account and subscribed at the panix addrr, and I'll continue to monitor the list, although it is doubtful I'll be posting much. I have found one cache of more-than-ten-year-old stuff, mostly Commie and Atari. I'll post more when I have a chance to check it out. Don't get too excited. Buyer pays shipping...

If you don't mind clones, you can get a Intec (not crap) RI1039E from http://www.theverylastword.com/ribbons.htm for about $5/ea, or if you want the genuine article order a AT&T 127815 for about $8/ea from 10kplus.com like I did yesterday. - -- Aaron Nabil ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2000 20:34:01 -0500 From: Joe <rigdonj(a)intellistar.net> Subject: Re: CP/M for HP 87? Stan, I have the ROM but I've never tried to use it. I don't have the instructions for it so I don't know much about it. I have CPM for the HP 120 and I'm hoping that it will work with the ROM but I don't know if it will or not.

None of the versions in my possession have it, unfortunately, and some application I want to run has to have it. Thanks and regards John G.
