9114B and HP-41 HP75C

[Erik-M]

Thank you for all the answers.

The printer is new so no cartridge installed, there is an original cartridge in the box but since you say its corrosive and >30 years old I just keep it this way for its collectors value and see if I can find the newer ones.
I was amazed that there are lead acid batteries in the drives, definitely dead so I ordered two new PS-628 batteries.

Yesterday late I found already some LIF software but it doesn't work from a dos VM. Since you confirm it doesn't work from USB I don't have to try more.
I have an old 1200 MHz pentium somewhere, don't know if there is a keyboard but I will have a look later. I looked at the pil box but this is more fun.
Do I understand well that the newer linux LIF utils run on faster hardware but still need the old fashioned floppy drive

Forth on the 75C could be really interesting but I guess its better to trade this thing for some HP41 stuff later.
