Today I dusted off the HP150 I picked up the other

actually believed it was only a terminal, but it had a HP-IB interface
which made me pick it up. Discovering that it is a non-IBM compatable 8088
based machine with a touch-screen was nice :-) Not having any drives with
it renders it useless as a computer, but I am interested in getting it
working as a touch screen terminal, does anyone have the docs for this? or
be able to tell me what "Power-on error 1000" means? and how to test out
the touchscreen?
I don't know about Australia, but here in the States the 9121 drives are
fairly common at ham fests and surplus shops. Someone may correct me but
I believe this is the type of drive that will work with the HP150.
