I have a new, old-stock printer for the HP85, still in it's bag and box.

Is there any interest in it or is it junk?

Some many years ago now, I organized a group purchase from PIC of
drive belts for the printer and also developed a technique for
re-rubbering the capstan roller in the tape drive. I would
appreciate getting your printer ;)

Not me. I've got one.

That was the problem with much of the HP mechanical hardware. The
rubber composition just didn't last and would eventually decompose
into a sticky mess. For example, this is my reconstructed HP-65 mag
stripe reader drive wheel using a slice of clear vinyl tubing.

Incidentally, the most difficult part of this exercise was neatly
cutting the hose to size. I had to use a razor blade or a scalpel.

The tape drive roller in the HP85 was susceptible to the same rubber
deterioration.

I fixed two using the same clear vinyl tubing trick. Sorry, no
photos.

Yet Macs have been around for 20 years and still only have a 5% market
share- clearly they "deliver" something those 5% want, but not something
"everyone" wants.

Haven't me from running a good-sized design advertising design studio.
Never got what everyone else liked about PCs (and forget the "PCS are
cheaper" excuse - you pay more in time and virus prevention later).
Use Virtual PC about once a week to test on IE browser and access a
couple ActiveX powered control panels.


More lies from the mac community. There are excellent anti virus
programs that are free for private use AVG is my favorite.

Have you EVER seen any instrumentation cards for a MAC? I've seen
ISA, EISA, PCI and the pc-104 industrial variant os the EISA buss.

I see you don't believe the government's stated primary goal of making E911
available to cell users..

I don't believe or disbelieve. The OP asked a question. I offered my
contribution.
