- I'm seeking advise. I recieved a HP110 laptop (circa 1985) for X-mas.
- It has Memomaker, Lotus 123, and a terminal program on it's read-only
- memory disk. It runs MS-DOS v2.11.
- Is this compatible with an IBM-XT and if so can anyone direct me to
- a software archive. At the moment I have only the computer itself, there
- is no disk drive, but there is an internal modem so I can download.
- How much should I expect to have to pay for a new or used disk drive
- for the HP110? Will only HP drives work with my machine or can I shoot
- for a 3rd party compatible drive (at a lower cost hopefully).
- Lastly, is there a way to boost the internal memory (RAM) ? The
- machine has 265k; of that 97k is used for the read-only programs. Hard
- drives are usually rather expensive and and at the moment I'm not sure
- the investment would be worth the cost. (seeing how old the machine is).
-
- Ps. Can any one give me a ballpark figure of how much a machine such as
- this is worth? Would be good to know, before I start investing time
- and money, whether this is a white elephant or treasure.
