  By the way, I found a new disk for the 150
Touchscreen:

 Advance Link Master#3 (45431-13003) A.01.01  2435
 Upload A.01.02
 Monitor 3000 A.02.04

 Are you familiar with this bit of software? I'm assuming that it's comm
 software for linking a 110/110+ to the 150 but I'm not sure. 
No, it's comm software for linking a 150 to an HP3000.  AdvanceLink is
an HP terminal emulator of sorts (let's face it, most of the terminal
emulation is in the 150's firmware) with a so-so scripting language
and upload/download capabilities.  It came on more than one disk, I
think that is disk 3 of the set, and I think it's got the stuff for
uploading the HP3000 side of the file-transfer software to the 3000.

  I also picked up a 110+ with some manuals but no
software. I'm not sure if
 there even was software for the 110 series, since they're ROM based systems. 
A little bit, plus you could use some of the generic MS-DOS software 
that was suitable for the 150s on the 110 and Portable Plus.  Once
upon a time, I was doing Pascal compilations on a 110 using the
Microsoft Pascal compiler on 150-format stiffies.  (It wasn't a very
fast development system.)
