360 Technologies is (was) and old HP reseller.
I just tried buying a 9145 from them, and didn't hear anything back.
Called them, and they are in the middle of selling off what they haven't scrapped.
Mike is going to let me know more of what will be available and by whom next week.

I noticed recently that all of their eBay listings (360dibs) were
canceled. I wondered what was up with that. I bought a couple of HP
1000 A-series cables from them in the last year or so that I couldn't
find anywhere else. Are there any HP resellers left now that have
their own inventory and don't speculatively list parts that they don't
have or never had?

If this is them, they are apparently located in Austin;

Sure! The problem is that most of them don't know that collectors still want old
stuff. Continental Computers in Calif has old DEC, SUN, and old and new HP stuff. Pallets
of it! They just don't advertise it.
If there are not too many requests, you can send me PN, and I can see who is ACTUALLY
listing them, not just advertising.

Well, I'm still looking for an IBM PC-AT Model F keyboard. :-)
US layout would be a challenge but not an insuperable one. I don't use
a ? much any more since I don't like in the UK any more...

Just talked to Lidan at Continental Computers. They did not realize the website was down!
You can call him directly at 310-906-3553, or email lidan at conticomp.com
They killed the pallet of Sun pizza boxes, but the other machines they parted out and put
the parts in stock.
They do have some old DEC stuff; he will check for anything PDP related.
They do not have any VT100 stuff left, nor any terminals below a VT320.
He will also look for HP 1000 type boxes, and hdd and tape drives to match.

www.conticomp.com is still down. If they think it's up (internally) then
maybe DNS is using the wrong IP address.

I just called, looking for a cable. Mike said they were selling the
building and the plotter side of the business, but it sounded like the
HP side might be coming back in some shape or form.
