I love older machines and had to part with several SGI and HP systems in order to
'downsize' enough to fit in my apartment, so an HP-UX laptop is very desirable.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to 80-BUS parts, so my offer would be for cash;
I'll make my offer outside this forum.

I'm much less interested in a bidding war that most people would be. The
computer is sitting on my shelf, it isn't being used, it just takes up
space. I'm not a dealer in old computers, I don't rely on any profit to
feed my family. I would prefer that this machine went to someone who
would use it. Shipping to Canada would be CAN$64
I would be far happier to swap it for 80-BUS parts than for cash.

I'm still interested... but let's try not to make this into a 'bidding
war'.

Wow! That amount of interest wasn't expected at all.
I have a best offer so far of ?100 (112? / $124) plus shipping.
The cheapest shipping to the USA would be $50, into Europe would be 18?
for the parcel which weighs in at 8kg / 18lb. All at your risk.
I don't want to put it on ebay, I'd much rather it went to a serious
user on here but I do want to expand my collection of 80-BUS
(NASCOM/GEMINI) parts so anything I get for the PrecisionBook would help.
Let me know if you are still interested.

Hi to everyone,
I have a PrecisionBook laptop made by RDI Computer Corporation in
Carlsbad, CA. It's a Model #H16-12-8-256L2S with a 4050mAHr battery, a
6.5Gb hard drive with data and a 4.0Gb hard drive with HP-UX 10.2. I
also have the charger for it. It works but I have no documentation at
all.
Is it of any use to anyone or should I dump it?
