I think the manual(s?) says something like "you can't touch-type on this
machine", but I may be mistaken.  In any case, I have caught myself 
unconsciously touch-typing on it, until something upsets its balance and it
falls over.  A lead plate in the bottom of it would make it easier to touch
type on, but with other undesirable consequences.

I don't think it's required, as the built-in Kermit and Xmodem are pretty
robust and easy to use.  It just makes things easier.  (I don't speak for
HP here, mind you...)

Enjoy.
