I'm looking for an original copy (not pdf or other electronic format) of the
"HP Pocket Reference Guide to the 2100 Computer". Unlike the title suggests,
it's hardly pocket-sized. It's about 450 pages, with roughly 5x8 pages.
I'm willing to pay non-trivial sums of cash, or provide lopsided trades, for
said book.
Regards,
Jay West

if you do not turn one up let me know.... somewhere in one of the warehouses
probably have an extra of that and also the one on the 2116 it is large
too... think it is for the 2116 2115 and 2114
Jay also wondering do you have any extra 2100's when you convert the access
over to 21 mx processors?

I am interested in what you consider "non-trivial sums of cash".
( A lopsided trade would be for a 2100, but then I would need the book)
My copy has contact plastic on its cover, so it is not in original condition,
on the other hand, it still has a cover because of the protective coating.
Size as described, about 1.25" thick. Stamped on the edges of the pages
(all 3 sides) is "EDP Department" and in writing "Copy 22". Also on
inside
of front cover. Vintage is 25th July 1974. Otherwise, in pristine condition.
(I probably owe a library fine on this, but since the EDP Department does
not exist any more, I am not too worried)
Will you be scanning it and putting a PDF copy up on bitsavers?
Amazingly, I have also found the following documents of similar vintage:
HP92045 Microprogramming Package Reference manual.
Loose leaf, 3 hole punched, about 1" thick. This is how to write microcode
for the 2100 using the Writeable Control Store (WCS) option
A pocket Guide to Interfacing the HP2100 Computer. March 1973
5 x 7.25 x 5/8" Condition: Like new except for a bit of the blue "ink"
on the
cover (at the intersection of the cover and the spine) has been rubbed off.
A pocket guide to Interfacing HP Computers. September 1969.
Slightly smaller and same condition as the book above. Seems the
computer line at the time was 2114A/B, 2115A, and 2116B.
Some what more recent:
The way ahead of its time, and very short lived HP300 Architecture guide.
Vintage November 1979. 7.5 x 8.5 x .5". Almost new condition
HP Precision Architecture Handbook. July 1987. Almost new condition
8.5 x 11 x .5"

Jay West
All the best,

Two
listmembers stepped forward, I took the first one :) So... I already
have said book. I think I have two or three "spare" 2100's (and a 2155 I/O
extender). However, out of them I need to get one good working 2100 as a
spare unit for my other two 2100's in my dual cpu Access system. With what
is left, I will eventually see if there's enough to put together another
2100 that I won't need. There's a fairly long list of people who want that
one IF it becomes available :)

I think Al already has a copy destined for future scanning... we'll
see.

I have recently located all of those other books too. Great
documents!

No need, I have no 300. I have a D220 though, but I have a pretty good stash
of docs on that one since I bought it new :)
