- HP110 portable computer for sale
- lotus 123 in ROM ( no waiting for menus... )
-
- This computer was the state of he art about a hundred years ago...
- it has 272K RAM, but only needs 96K to run its ROM applications, leaving
- 176K as a RAM disk. Having owned the thing for almost ten years, I
- have rarely needed more that the RAM disk. I've used the 3.5" drive
- just for backups. I've found the machine to be an extremely capable
- capable lotus123 machine.
-
- It also has a terminal emulator and a text editor included as ROM
- applications. The terminal emulator is 95% ANSI compatible, making
- it useless as as a DEC terminal (sigh!), and the text editor ( which I wrote
- this plea on ) is the most primative thing I've ever seen.... doesn't even
- have a search function.... (SIGH!)
-
- However, since it has lotus123 in ROM, including even the help screens,
- it is faster that most hard disks....
-
- Anyway... I have a terminal, and need a modem.... so this HP110, and
- the HPIL 3.5" floppy drive are for sale for $150 plus shipping.
- ( probably $20 worth of COD charges and shipping )
