HP110 Portable and Portable Plus Software Message #1 Posted by Jeff on 10 Feb 2004, 6:37 p.m. I was wondering if there was a collection of software or shareware somewhere for these units? I would be willing to manage a website with this software on it if anyone has info/programs/software to contribute. Please let me know. Remove the $$$ to reply. Jeff

Re: HP110 Portable and Portable Plus Software Message #3 Posted by db(martinez,california) on 17 Feb 2004, 3:19 p.m., in response to message #2 by John Kercheval John and Jeff; If you ever need to justify why you still use the 110 you could quote the last line in this web page which is about the hp series 100- http://www.blinkenlights.com/classiccmp/hp150faq.txt "E2) Why should I stick with such old computers? They are inexpensive. They are reliable. They are environmentally friendly. They are cute. They do the job." You don't need to justify anything to me, especially if you use it to run a 41 emulator. That just makes sense.

Re: HP110 Portable and Portable Plus Software Message #4 Posted by John Kercheval on 17 Feb 2004, 6:42 p.m., in response to message #3 by db(martinez,california) Guys: Ever hear of a very rare 110+ called the "Glow Worm."? It was the 110+ with a backlit display. John Kercheval

Re: HP110 Portable and Portable Plus Software Message #5 Posted by Jeff on 17 Feb 2004, 8:20 p.m., in response to message #4 by John Kercheval I have heard of this unit but never seen one. I really need to find a set of manuals for the Portable plus as I have none. My HP110+ I guess is differnet than most. It utilizes a 6 volt lead acid battery the same as the HP9114 disc drive. Also, there is a strange connector on the back of the battery lid. Please let me know if you would like to see pictures as they are available. You know, there is always an excitment in reviving an old calculator or computer. Learning how that item is programmed and finally using for everyday use, because I can! Thats what makes this a hobby.

Who should i give my email address to? BTW: my toy is a regular 110. It's real cool but i just bash at it because i don't have the manual and am dos-challenged.

I hope to at least have the site up and running this weekend with some photos of battery changing. Any additional pictures or scans would be appreciated. I will post the URL when it is up.
