Anyone have an HP 12661A DVS card manual, 12661-90004?

And as Glen figured out, I am very interested in this too! I didn't even know such a card existed. If they have the schematics in the manual (likely), I can recreate the card.

I don't see a manual for the HP 12661A DVS (Digital Voltage Source)
interface card on bitsavers, or hpmuseum.net, or anywhere else.

The only reference I have found is in a list of not scanned manuals here:

http://rikers.org/hp2100/jeff/iocards/iocards2.txt

---------- 12661 DIG VOLT SOURCE ----------
MANUAL FOR DIGITAL VOLTAGE SOURCE PROGRAMMER
INTERFACE KIT HP 12661A
MANUAL NO. 12661-90004
APRIL 1971
[Cards #12661-6001 and 12661-6002, connector 02116-6178]


This is the interface card that would be used in an HP 1000 to control
an HP 6130A Digital Voltage Source. See Hewlett-Packard Journal, June
1968.

There is the 14902A BCS driver as listed in
5950-9226_HP_Software_Catalog_Aug1973.pdf

Source code for that driver is available as 14902-80001_Rev-A.src in
the bitsavers HP_1000_software_collection Master Files, Type 4.

Mainly just curious because I have a couple of HP 12661A interface
cards without manuals that I have never tried to use and I was
reminded about them when an HP 6130A made a brief appearance in Marc's
latest Weird Stuff video.
