For example, it has an LCD display.

(I note you're using gnus) I think there's a linux driver for the small
character-based LCD displays(displays based around some hitachi chip I think).

I'll see what I can find out. Yes, I'm using gnus but not on the PC I would
be using for any interfacing. The PC in question has both RH 7.1 Linux and
Freedos installed. I would probably start with Freedos interfacing, since
I think it is easier to get things to work, but I don't really know. Once
something works under Freedos, I'd imagine I actually know something and
try to get it to work under Linux.

Anyway, advice on how to get the most out of this discovery, without simply
using it as hp intended (which is not an option), will be welcome.

that very much depends on your goals.

At this stage, my goal is to be better educated and I view the hp 4110
as a means to that end. Then I'll be better prepared the next time fate
favors me with garbage. I don't have a particular construction project
in mind at the moment, although I have seen things on the web (www.hackaday...)
such as using stepper motors from printers to make a numerically controlled
milling machine. I'm not ready for that. Just to know how to fillet and bone
the fish will be a sufficient goal, and if I can do better, that's even
better.
