Hi,
Thought I'd let ya'll know that Dave Hicks is now shipping his
"Museum of HP Calculators" CD-ROM set. This is a two-disk
set that has the entire contents of his Web site, plus
40 Meg of so of additional high-resolution images,
copies of the manuals for nearly all the HP calculators that
are featured in the Museum, and copies of many of the
program manuals for HP's programmable calculators. The manuals
are in Acrobat PDF format. It is also worth noting that
Dave secured permission from HP to re-publish these manuals,
so the CD-ROMs have copyright notices for both Dave's original
stuff and the HP manuals.
I know that several of those on the list are interested in
the HP9100 & HP98xx series machines - I provided Dave the
scans of the HP9100, HP9810, HP9815, and HP9830 operating
manuals, and the manuals for three of the common 9830
ROM modules. Someone else provided the HP9820 manual and
some HP9100 programs. There's a bunch of HP-41 stuff
in the set, and some HP-71B stuff, too I think.
Dave tells me that the total content of the set is around
900 Megabytes, and he's charging $25 plus shipping for
the set. You can get a complete listing of what's contained
on the CD-ROMs, and ordering instructions, from Dave's
web site at
http://www.hpmuseum.org
Given that an original HP9100 manual alone sold for over $60
on eBay recently, I think this set is a real bargain for
those who are primarily interested in the information in
the manuals.
Regards,
Alex
