Australian HP museum site... yes kudos to them! What wonderful work they have done and some of the friendliest peple around! Even though I pull a copy down from there. If it is,for something we have in the collection I also try to get original manuals too..

I do have an unopened ink cartrige. You can get scans of the manuals from the Australian HP museum site Do you have any expansion boards in it? Extra memory is very useful (and you can turn any of the boards into a 1MByte one by adding the chips and changing links). As is an RS232 interface (something that IMHO should have been built-in) Do NOT leave the ink cartridge in the machine. The ink is somewhat corrosive and if it leaks onto the flexiprint that connects the cartridge to the logic PCB it will damage it. Due to the layout of the machine the flexiprint is longer than the one in a normal Thinkjet so you can't just raid one of those for spares. Yes there is a way to kludge it with ribbon cable and connectors but it's best not to have the problem in the first place. > > HP 51604A.

I was equally surprised to find that ink ribbons for the Epson HX20 laptop (M160 printer mechanism) along with the ones for the narrower M150 mechanism are still being made. But as I've said before, I'd rather find parts for a machine made 30 years ago than one made 5 years ago. -tony

Wayne.. yes please send the 2 serial numbers and others are invited to participate also. Probably good idea to send offlist to kerp from clogging lister.

I have two units and if you're interested I can pull the numbers and send them along.

Hi Doug! No, we do not have a copy of this HP JOURNAL. We do not have manuals either. We,are lucky to have the unit wonder if you can still order ink for the printer. I do have an unopened ink cartrige. I will have to get a copy of this journal meanwhile I will read this one you sent the link to! Back when we were selling the HP PC computers this was a current product but outside our contract with HP. I was working with HP 150 abd the display potables HP offered and used 1000 2000 and 3000 systems but always looked at how neat this was.
