I'm apparently google-impaired.... is anyone aware of an electronic copy of
the HP 110+ computer owners manuals?
Thanks in advance!

Not what you're asking, but I think I have it on paper. I certainly have
the technical reference and service manuals for this machine (aka
'Portable Plus'), so if there's something I can easily look up I will do so.
The obvious place to look would be http://www.hpmuseum.net/ but that site
is having problems at the moment, which the webmaster tells me he will be
sorting out soon.

No, I'm just not familiar with them at all, and have a working one now. Was
just looking for a good owners manual type document to give me an overview
of operation, options, accessories, etc.
Most of it is obvious and intuitive, but I like reading the manual where
possible as little gems here and there would be found that I wouldn't
discern on my own otherwise.
Thanks!

A few genral comments...
The most important accessory is a 9114 disk drive. This links up to the
HPIL port (do you know anything about HPIL?). Without it you're trusting
the RAM disk..
The battery will almost certainly need changing. It's a 6V, 2.5-ish Ah
lead-acid thing, eitehr a block battery (normal) or 3 Cyclon cells in
series (easier to get now, and shown in the service manual). I can talk
you through getting the battery in and out -- do NOT follow the procedure
in the service manual (and the one normally recomended) which involves
bending the metal connecting strap. Well, not unless you have some spares...
What 'drawers' do you have, if any. These slot in the bottom sides of the
mackine, to get them out, undo the obvious 2 screws (heads take either a
Torx (T8? or flat screwdriver), slide the drawer towards the side of the
machien, and lift out. You may have 'dummy drawers' (just 2 pins shorted
together to tell the machine there's something there, it won't power up
otherwise), Other common ones include a RAM drawer (row upon row of SMD
6264s..) and a 'software drawer' which takes EPROMs. I know I have the
format for said EPROMs, I may have the software to make them, I can check.
The DE9 connector is an RS232 port, but it's not the same pinout as a
PC/AT one. I can find the connecitons if you need them.
