Has anyone come across, or more importantly does anyone have any
technicla data on, an HP interface called PCIB (Personal Computer
Instrument Bus, I think).
It was used to link some simple-ish measuring insturments to a personal
computer host (either an ISA sloted thing or an HP150).
I've read the apporpriate HP journal and the manuals for the insturments
nad host PCBs. I understnad it consisted of a high-ish speed parallel bus
and a serial link on the same connector, the latter being opto-isolated
at the instrument end.
I would love to have a pinout of the interface conenctor, signal
specifications, timing diagrams, etc. Does that exist anywhere?
