HP 150 II (fwd) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

24 Sep 1997

The HP 150 is a (not) IBM compatible, circa 1985.  It's an 8088 that
runs a wacky disk format with a correspondingly wacky OEM version of
MS-DOS.  I have one of these machines, but don't have the DOS for it.
It'll run a small subset of early MS-DOS based software that doesn't
make any hardware accesses -- sort of the same situation as a DEC
Rainbow.  There's a FAQ at
http://www.mdn.com/oksoftware/Computers/hp150faq.html.

 My husband brought home a touchscreen Hewlett Packard 150 II. He has
 its
 original manuals & it fires up fine. Could you help me find more
 information on and applications for this computer?

 Thanks,
