Re: looking at buying a pocket PC / PDA

Lol that's indeed the one. I had no idea it was same era though. I think i was looking at one years ago as an option to document my collection and serial numbers. I realized despite the cool factor, i would be putting my faith in that system with no back-up and less ability to export elsewhere

RE: HP 2640 character set generation manual in the UK

Dave, Thank you so much for enquiring. Not an uncommon problem, scanning (and even just cataloging) is so resource intensive. Well, at least they cataloged it properly and made the entry available on the web, so we should be grateful for that. Is someone in the UK close enough to go view it

In days of old would use one with a 50 ft ribbon cable as a 'portable' console fro one of my hp 2000 systems I would just rag it around to wherever I was in the Computer Room. or into the front office west of the computer room as the back of the 2000 was against that wall.

Hey, TRS-80 M100 rocks! I've got several, and they all work perfectly to this day. Built by Kyocera, who isn't known for making junk. I agree, just not with the nutty claim that real writers still use them as modern tools. That was an urban legend with maybe some tiny grain of truth 25 years

Is there a reason to AVOID mentioning the Poqet? The original MSRP at announcement was WAY too high, and priced it out of the market, but the actual/street price wasn't bad. Larger keyboard that the HP (which was otherwise a better deal for the price) AA batteries with long life. two PCMCIA

HP 2640 character set generation manual in the UK

The link below is from the computer museum in Cambridge, UK, which seems to have a copy of an HP 2640 terminal manual I am looking for. Is anyone from that museum on the list? Does any of the UK members know them? http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/14373/HP-2640-Series-Character-Set-Ge
