First, here is here are the addresses of the leading User Groups which
deal with the HP-71 (and all other HP handhelds):

It will be well worth your while joining one of these groups.

Additionally, much information can be got from the EduCalc Mail store at:
27953 Cabot Road, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677, (714) 582-2637.

For your information, we (Zengrange) are HP's largest Independent Custom
Consultant for their handheld computer division, and we have done
much (software and hardware)work on the HP-71 (as well as the HP-41, and
HP-9000 computers).

Many other companies produce products such as memory and EPROM units for
the HP-71, and much software is available from third parties.  Your best
source of initial information about these is the EduCalc catalogue,
available free from EduCalc.  I would recommend that you get this, and
that you write to HPX for further information.  Feel free to call this
office too, if you want more information on our activities.

I hope this helps.
