I may be missing something (and I know nothing about the 4041)
It's basicly the same as a HP 9915 except it has a few more keys and a
small (12 character?) LED display.
, but
Yeah, there goes the mailing list! :-)

doesn't the HP150 have an IEEE-488 port (aka GPIB,
HPIB) as standard.
Yes, it does but the 150 uses the port to connect to peripherals
operating under MS-DOS. It has no commands that will let you send or
recieve specific strings over the HP-IB.
Certainly the 150-II does. It's used to link up the
HP's disk and tape
drives, etc. But it's a real IEEE-488 interface that can do just about
everything you'd expect.
Yes, but it doesn't have support for instruments and such and you can't
get direct control over what's send over the bus.
I know that GP-IB controllers are considered
kind of low life - but
Are they? I find them rather useful....
for some reason I'm hooked on this one (could
be the 68008?). Hell,
you know what? I'm afraid that old computers are going to be as
addicting as old analog synthesizers and Tektronix mainframe
o'scopes.
Uh-Oh... _Another_ Tek 'scope person...
