Museum of HP calcs CD-ROM shipping ...

Hi, Thought I'd let ya'll know that Dave Hicks is now shipping his "Museum of HP Calculators" CD-ROM set. This is a two-disk set that has the entire contents of his Web site, plus 40 Meg of so of additional high-resolution images, copies of the manuals for nearly all the HP calculators that are featured in the Museum, and copies of many of the program manuals for HP's programmable calculators. The manuals are in Acrobat PDF format. It is also worth noting that Dave secured permission from HP to re-publish these manuals, so the CD-ROMs have copyright notices for both Dave's original stuff and the HP manuals. I know that several of those on the list are interested in the HP9100 & HP98xx series machines - I provided Dave the scans of the HP9100, HP9810, HP9815, and HP9830 operating manuals, and the manuals for three of the common 9830 ROM modules. Someone else provided the HP9820 manual and some HP9100 programs. There's a bunch of HP-41 stuff in the set, and some HP-71B stuff, too I think. Dave tells me that the total content of the set is around 900 Megabytes, and he's charging $25 plus shipping for the set. You can get a complete listing of what's contained on the CD-ROMs, and ordering instructions, from Dave's web site at http://www.hpmuseum.org Given that an original HP9100 manual alone sold for over $60 on eBay recently, I think this set is a real bargain for those who are primarily interested in the information in the manuals.
