Hi Tony,

>_sure_ ?

Well, I've never seen one, but the HP-150 FAQ mentions a "45915A: 384k RAM
memory with HP-HIL interface".

I haven't really done any digging on the HP yet, all I know is what I've
learnt by reading the FAQ.


> The add-on cards I have are:

OK, the FAQ mentions the following cards:

        45630A: 128k RAM memory expansion
        45631A: 256k RAM memory expansion
        45632A: 384k RAM memory expansion
        45915A: 384k RAM memory with HP-HIL interface

        45890A: Expanded memory board with 512k of RAM
        45891A: Additional 256k RAM for board.
and
        45914A: HP-HIL card for the 150A and 150B.
        45643A: HP-IL and parallel printer interface board.
        45640A: 1200 baud modem card for HP 150A/B
        45640B: 1200 baud modem card for HP 150 II.

I've no idea how exhaustive list this is, I'd guess not very since the 2Mb
RAM board you have isn't mentioned.

No, I wasn't suggesting it didn't - just that for some reason all the ones
I've ever seen (at radio rallies mostly) have been without the touch
screen....
