[net.micro.hp] Query: HP-150 purchase

tag@Shasta.ARPA (07/04/85)

I would appreciate hearing of experiences with the HP-150 Touchscreen
computer - its good points, and things to beware of.  Potential uses
include writing and other information handling tasks, and some numeric
computation and programming.  Does HP or any third party have an 8087
or other floating point hardware add-on?  Also of importance is
reliability - does HP's reputation for quality have substance in this
case?  Does HP provide technical details for machine-specific
programming, modifying the BIOS, etc.?  Is this part of the MS-DOS
package or is it an extra?

Please reply by mail and if interest warrants I will post a summary.

	Thanks in advance,
