There once was an outfit here in Denver that made their fortune with an adapter
from the COMMODORE HPIB to the common Centronics
printer port as used on the
EPSON/OKIDATA cheapies used in the early '80's.
I remember the guy who did it
shortly after he got his first Porsche ... <sigh> I wish I'd thought of that!
Apparently Commodore thought a lot of the HPIB.

PETs, of course! if you happen to have an IEEE interface cartridge.
Hmmm. that's interesting. I didn't know about that.
Thanks,
