The owner is in Roanoke, Va. He's been selling^H^H^H^H^H^H^H listing a lot of HP stuff on E-bay. Most of it he knows nothing about and claims that it "appears to work". After some discussion with him, I found that "appears to work" means that the fan comes on but nothing else does! So watch out. Based on my conversations with him, I don't think he's interested in selling anything off of E-bay, unless maybe after it got no bids. He's listed a couple of HP 1000s, a HP 9825 and a HP 9845 that I know of.

Someone wrote... Aw sheesh - why does it have to be that all the decent HP2100 and 21MXM/E/F stuff is so far away from me. I'd give anything for another 2109E, another 2113E, and a 2108M and 2112M. OK.... not *ANYTHING*.... well, I can dream anyways :) I already have a pristine 7970E, but if the ones he has are 7970E's I would suggest any HP'ers go get 'em. VERY nice tape drives. Jay West
