Hi Kevin,

Nice find.

I can send you a Teledisk image of the DOS disc if you need one. Other than
that I have no software for the machine.

Hardware options included several different RAM boards, one with built in
HP-IL interface, various floppy/hard drive units and the touch screen itself
(I've NEVER seen a machine with the touch screen BTW).

Do you have some form of drive unit for the machine? Without one all you
have is a dumb terminal....
