$20 HA! Some of the dealers want $50+ plus for used ones around here.
OTOH I have been given bunches of them and there are tons of them
available. I just meant to warn him not to let them stick it to him for a
cable or let the price of the cable stand in the way of buying the HP IPC.

Get an HP-IB
cable or two if they have them but don't let them overcharge
you for them. A lot of people act like they're made of gold.
That is because they are, at least to the test engineering world. These
people spend large amounts for just about everything ($500 power supplies,
$3000 signal generators, etc.), so a $20 cable is nothing to them. The
dealers know they can get a large amount for HPIB cables, so they do.
