  So I am at this surplus sale at Oregon State University and they have an
  HP 97 (big brother to the 67, but with printer......not really a handheld),
  anyway, they have an HP 97 for $15!!!! No manuals, no assurance it works,
  no charger, nothing. I buy it anyway, thinking that these things sold for
  $750 in 1976.

  I managed to buy a charger for it for $20, brand new. Works perfectly.
  Now for a manual.

  Call HP Service, they refer me to HP Direct Marketing, who refer me to 
  EduCalc, who tell me that they are out (and have been for some time :-).

  Does anyone out there have a manual they would like to sell/unload/lend/etc??

  Also, I need some thermal paper for it. No luck at EduCalc again.....any
  suggestions? I see lots of brands on the market, will any of them work?

  Lastly, anyone with HP 67/97 magcards willing to sell a few?

  DISCLAIMER: I'm just putting this HP back into working order for fun. I
  have a little yellow slip from the mailman that says my 48sx is at the
  post office......
