RE: HP 75
I have located my Thinkjet. It's still in the backyard storage shed. The battery pack is in the same box and boy is it a corroded mess !! Glad it wasn't in the printer.

That box has the 9114 disc drive in it too, and the battery pack for it is just as scary. I'll rebuild one pack for both. I have maybe 75 to 100 floppy discs, I'm curious what's on them, my scribblings don't mean much to me.

As for the Thinkjet, I found at least one ink cartridge new in the packaging, I wonder f it is still good?

I also have a huge sheaf of printer paper. If the Thinkjet works I'll probably print some barcode with it, I'm sure I have the programs for that somewhere, probably in the PPCJournals, on card reader cards, and on a cassette, and a floppy. One of the few things I remember doing besides printing calendars, banners and work related stuff, was printing barcode on the Thinkjet.

I remember having the Radio Shack mini plotter too (printed with a turret with 4 colors of ink in little pens) but I definitely remember it getting broken and I pitched it. It was a fun little gizmo, miss it. I think it ran off my HP-IL with the 82166 converter I have.
