Hi John,

One of my pesonal projects has been to get a representative sample of HP
hardware, software, and ephemera into the collection at the computer History
Museum (www.computerhistory.org). The HP Mtn. View Response Center, Advant
Computer Exchange, Monterey Software, Stan Seiler, and Frank McConnell have
been very helpful in making this happen. Currently in the collection are
HP3000 Series I, 52, 58, Mighty Mouse, and MicroGX. There are a several HP
1000 systems and 2114, 2115, 2116s (I think these model numbers are
correct). Thanks to Stan et al the Museum also has an HP250 in mint
condition which was a great find. An HP300 (Amigo) would also be a great
find to round out the collection. My old company Monterey Software has also
donated a large collection of software, including source code for MPE-V.

Steve Squires, Chief Scientist at HP, is also a member of the Museums Board
of Trustees. Anyone wanting to contribute an artifact, software,
documentation, or (maybe most important) your time as a volunteer please
feel free to contact me or the Museum via the web page.

Cheers,

Lee Courtney
