I inherited this equipment about 5 years ago; I believe it is all about 10-12 years old. It had been used sparingly by the previous owner (not quite the right tool for the job...), not at all in the past 5 years. All items are battery operated and use HP-IL cable serial loops for interconnecting. All items are in good physical condition, although I'm sure the batteries will need replaced/ refurbished as a result of age &/or non-use. The Printer & Disc Drive both have charging adapters. I have ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION for all three items. HP-71: This was one of HP's early palmtops. It is programmable and (of course) works with the Printer & Disc Drive. The alpha-numeric keyboard has multi-function keys and a 10-key +operators to the right side. There is a scrolling single-line LCD display. Like many of HP's early palmtops/calcs, this machine is designed to accept additional memory &/or program modules, and a program barcode reader (none included with this offer). ThinkJet: When HP ventured into the portable market, this was one of the first battery-operated portable printers available. It is basic ThinkJet technology and still worked fine the last time I used it, although I'm sure that the ink cartridge is long dead and will need replacement. Ditto on the battery. 9114A Disc Drive: From the manual, "The HP 9114A Disc Drive is a battery operated electronic storage device. Data and programs from your computer are stored on a removable flexible disce used with the disc drive. The HP 9114A uses a [DS] 3 1/2-inch disc providing as much as 710 thousand characters of storage capacity." Again, this drive is in good physical condition, though the battery is probably shot. Now for the dirty: I know that this equipment is basically archaic compared to today's technology. My guess is, if you're even remotely interested in this posting you are either A) dependent on a similar HP system and looking for replacement equipment to keep your system working, or B) a modern technology museum curator. If you are the former, please EMAIL me an offer, including shipping/ insurance costs. If you are the latter, please EMAIL me an offer, but bump up the price a bit and I'll consider donating it as long as I can get a receipt for tax purposes :-) As you noticed, I'd prefer an Email response as this posting is going to about 35 newsgroups and there's no way I'll remember to check all of them religiously for responses. Hope to hear from someone..., nate tucson, az -- the world makes of you what you make of it...
