Last 71B?

[TASP]

I'll try to get some pics later, despite my apparent savvy with 41 hardware, my Droid cell phone and I have never bonded. It HATES me with a Godly hate.

Sigh.


More info on the HP71B touchpad, it is listed in the EduCALC 1991 flyer I have as follows:

(no picture)

ruggedize your 71B for hazardous duty
. . . resists spills and spatters as well as dust and grit. Snaps neatly in place over your keyboard, has all key legends reproduced in their correct colors

Stock #810 [HP71 Touchpad] List $29...................................$12.95 (discount price of $23.95 is crossed out)




Curiously, mine has 'f key' yellow lettering on the ATTN, and my actual HP-71B has silver lettering for the ATTN. Funny they would make a point in the ad that was not correct. The steep discount is interesting.

Also, most everything in the EduCALC catalog is listed with the HPmodel # as the stock number. 810 doesn't strike me right off the bat as an HP # at all.

I've spent some time looking around the internet for "HP71B Touchpad" and the only thing I found was the Oregon Digital Systems model 7100SI protective housing, and its' touchpad is colored differently and looks kinda similar and kinda different. Weird. I don't think mine would be water proof around the edges at all, and it looks like the ODS 7100 is.
