hmmm...... write a driver for the hp 150 and use it to blow platter data
to 3.5 inch discs......
not my idea of self abuse... but might be an interesting way to recover
some data files....

Subject: another HP item available calculator/computer/disc?
I have an HP 98041A disc interface available.
This is a desktop type box that has a cable and big module that plugs into
some kind of HP 98xx calculator/computer. The box has an HP-IB port on the
back.
As best I can tell, this box plugs into the HP-IB port of large old 14" HP
drives like the 7906H, or, in the configuration I received it, the box
plugs
into the HP-IB port of an HP-IB optioned 13037
controller. This would
allow
the calculator to use non-HP-IB drives such as the
7905, 7906A-D, and
7920.
This particular one was hooked up to the HP-IB port on
a 13037 running to
a
7906D drive.
I have no need for this, it's available for trade. I have no way to test
it,
but based on the things I received in this load, I
would hazard a guess
that
it probably does work.
