There are still things to do with the uIEC base, though. IEEE488
support would be a great win, as then PET/CBM machines would have a
solid state device to use, and I am working on a USB link to a PC, so
one can slave their Win/Mac/Linux box to their CBM. And, for those
who want something more vintage as a target, the protocol is simple
RS232 (I use a RS232->USB converter), so they could add a MAX232 and
write a suitable app for anything that provides RS232.
Any chance for HP support (hp85, hp86, etc) ?
