Thanks for the tip. (Part of not recognizing
that is that I had never
made the connection between the 2108B/2112B and the "1000" series
before, until I read about it in this thread, and did some poking
around. The HP's have not been one of my priorities in over a couple of
decades, and most of of that focus was on my older HP2114B.)

That's always mystified me too. "1000 series" for model numbers like 2108B,
2112B, 2113E, etc.
Weird corporate thinking. Maybe too much printed material with "1000" on to
change?
Or some other company had trademarked "2000 series? ?
