HP250 curiosity

[Courtney, Lee]

Hi Bob,

CHM has one - the desk model with a console monitor on a flexible neck.
Do have that model or the desk-side unit the size of a two drawer file
cabinet? I remember the former from my days at HP in the late-70s, early
80s. Very very nice product design.

Do you have any software for your machine?
