Today, I was given a bunch of interesting vintage
items.
HP-IB ABC switch (92205Y) Used to chain up to 21 external HP-IB devices
(have you seen one of these before, Joe?)
I have one but it looks about like one of the standard RS-232 switch
boxs and it only switchs between four (i think!) sets of HP-IB cables.
HP 9114A floppy drive box for HP110
HP 9114B "same as above" with cool battery status lights, and original
yellow floppy protector insert.
HP Thinkjet portable printer for HP 110.
Yes, those are cool. They can also be used with the HP 75, HP 71 and HP
41 calculators if you add the HP-IL interface to them.
HP Series 100 Communicator Volumes 7-12 (very cool)
Now those are unusual. I have two volumes but I've never been able to
find any more of them. Where did you find them?

Well, it does have three HP-IB connectors but since you can daisy chain the
IB devices, wouldn't that mean that you could have seven chained devices per
port?

What? You're asking me to give up my most productive source of free or very
cheap vintage hardware. I'll give you a hint... it's the coolest vintage
computer store in Seattle.
These books are great! What a wealth of photos and information.
Volume 7 (1983) =International Edition. Introduces the HP150.
Volume 8 (1984) =World Wide Edition. Lotus 123.
Volume 9 (1984) =World Wide Edition. General, no specific topic.
Volume 10(1984) =WWE. Local area networking with HP computers.
Volume 12(1985) =Touchscreen II.

You're assuming that everybody has the same set of interests in vintage
computers. Now spill the beans! (:
And if you say, "Re*PC" I'm going to have to hurt you.
