Hi Jay,
Welcome to the list. Where are you located? I collect smaller HPs
(9000s, 98xx stuff, 85s, calculators, etc).
St. Louis, MO.
Smaller HP's (9000)? The K and V class machines aren't that small <grin>!
What's 98xx?
Calculators? Nifty! I have an HP41C that I treasure, but a plastic connector
cracked so the top half isn't always in good contact with the bottom half.
Grrr... Anyone have a totally dead 41C that I could steal to use the plastic
parts from?
I just send two HP 7907s with MAC interfaces to
another list member.
Humm... I must admit not being familiar with the 7907's. What was different
about them from the 7906? I never saw any TSB docs that mentioned them...
Got any 7900A's ? :)
What do you do at The Software Exchange
(tseinc.com)?

We Exchange our software for other people's money! <grin>
I'm the owner there. We sell HP9000 series 800 machines (that's the HP-UX
Unix boxes), but we sell only new machines (not used) as part of a vertical
solution (with our manufacturing and distribution software). We also do
custom programming, network consulting, and we're an ISP as well. Pretty
diverse! We only deal in new HP Unix/RISC gear though, not any of the type
that I like collecting (2000 TSB related). Also, our DARship only allows us
to sell the series 800 stuff with our software. So - no - my desire for 21mx
stuff is strictly for my personal collection at home (the 2000E was the
first system I ever learned in high school).
Other systems in my collection include Dec PDP-8E, PDP-11/23, PDP-11/73,
HP1000E (2 of them), and a wide range of period peripherals (LA36, LSI &
Hazeltine, Microterm, TU10, Kennedy tape drives, RX02's, etc). My current
project is finishing restoration of the 8E (almost complete).
Glad to be here on the list, and hope to contribute!
