HP DOS computer selection advice sought

2 Jul 2004

...
   So far from my
looking around, the HP 110 seems very close to what I'd want.  The small
vertical height of the screen is a big plus, but, I really have to
 have 80x24. Plus the 110 seems to be stuck with 256k ram and only DOS 2.11. 
The HP Portable Plus (110+) gets round some of those problems. It has an 
80*24 LCD, and will take something like 800K+ of RAM (all in 6264's...). 
But it is _not_ IBM compatible (the MS-DOS is a customised version, as 
are many of the applciation programs), there's no HPIB port (there is an 
HPIL port, and you can use an 82169 interface to hang HPIB devives off 
that), and there's certainly no parallel port. Nor is there a hard disk 
(although I think you can use some HP hard disk untis with it, if your 
82159 has the later version firmware, there's a comment about this in the 
back of the TechReF).

But I don't think it's really what you are looking for.
