Hi all!
Well another trip into the basement today. Found a second Perq type 1
keyboard (with the LED panel on the back), a pair of platform things
that look like they might be digitizer pads, and about 20 MFM hard disk
drives of every model and vintage.
One of the Perq2's does not have a

That would be very cool. Good luck!

I can see that it was a long day - but you are doing good work! Keep it
up!
Whereabouts is all this heavy lifting taking place, in the US? I wouldn't
have expected to see ICL Perqs so far from home ...
They're here in the US: I think one of these came from Sparrows Point

Looks like a rebadged HP 1000 series machine.
After removing the above, you can remove the floppy drive (the normal
3 cable to an 8" drive and I think 3 screws) and the power supply
(under the floppy drive, there are 3 output cables with in-line plugs
and sockets, an IEC type main input on the back of the PSU chassis,
and 2 screws at the
Looks like an HP-1000 E-Series 2109 or 2113 sitting on top of the Perq box.
Yes. I don't know much about the HP series computers. So I should take
it up the steps (is it heavy?), and is it historical like the Perqs?
