Hi,

While sorting through packing material to dispose of I found a package that came with my HP85 but which I not noticed.

I had to do some research but realised it contains a big collection of HP65 calculator programmable strips and some HP software pacs. See attached pics.

I was wondering if these strips are still readable after many years?

I have no use for them but also have no idea if there is any interest in these sorts of items now?

There is also something that looks like a battery pac charger - it has an electrical connector on the bottom. But no idea what it is for.

thanks

Tony

If I remember correctly, the HP75 uses the same battery pack.

It is possible that the cards are still readable and even if they are not they can probably be re-written if you go over to MoHPC ? I am sure you would find someone interested The battery charger is an external charger for the battery pack that the HP-65 used among others.

Hi Dave,
Apologies - didn’t mean to post OT.
I’ll take it off line from now on.

? ?This really isn't the right place for it, but HP calculators and
early computers have a HUGE following.
