I am compiling some information for a HP-IB
KnowledgeBase article /
FAQ and need some input. [...]
* Introduction / Tutorial - Basic overview of the
protocol
* Protocols - HP-IB, GPIB, SICL, IEEE-488, etc...
* Characteristics - Electrical and physical characteristics
* Instruments - Talking to instruments
* Bus Analyzers - IE HP59401A
* CS-80 disks - The CS-80 / SS-80 protocols
* Programming - Linux, HP-UX, C, assembler, other
Well, personally, I've got a bunch of HP-IB stuff and a small amount of
other IEEE 488 stuff and I'd like to know anything I need to make them
play nice together. This probably includes the first four items on
your list and to some extent the last - though programming doco that's
all about how to use someone else's binary-only libraries would be of
little use to me. Maybe the second-last, though I don't know whether
the disks I have are CS-80 disks.
In particular, I have an IEEE488 card for my SPARCs and I'd like to
make it act like a disk to the HP machines I have.
