Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention: HP sells a
card that fits in an IBM PC/XT/AT that interfaces the
HP110 into a serial network with the PC.  This allows you
to use the IBM's drives and programs.  Thus you don't
really have to buy the 3" expensive drive unless you
need a battery operated one.  The same card lets you
use the little battery powered thinkjet printer with
the IBM, or even network a bunch of IBM's together.  The
transfer rate is quite good.  Sort of a poor man's
Ethernet.  The cost?  $100.
