   Carefull there! The 110 won't run CPM. (believe it or not Don!) You
need to check those others and see if they're for the 120/125, 150 or 110.
They're all 100 series machines but they're all different. SOME of the 150
stuff may run on the 110 but only if it's not tailored for the 150. The
150 is MS-DOS but it's very different from the IBM PC and most (all?) of
the HP software that I have for it has been tailored to run on the 150 and
can't be used on the 110.
