Don,
What do you want with that? You can't use it on a CPM computer. You'd
better throw it out. While you're at it throw it this way!
Gee, Joe, all of my CP/M stuff has RS-232C :)
If don't believe that then I can make a copy of
the manual for you. You
don't need any software for it but you do need a HP calculator or computer
that has a HP-IL interface (HP 41, 71, 75, 85, etc). You *can't* use this
with a computer with a serial port to make a IL controller. It's only a IL
to RS-232 translator. It's main use is too allow communications between an
HP with IL to a regular computer with RS-232.
I would certainly appreciate a copy of the manual. Seems like I picked
up an ISA HP-IL card a while back and the software to drive it, too. If
I interpret correctly, you are telling me that the HP-IL/RS-232C
Interface is a receive only device, or am I misreading you.

I acquired this
item a while back in the original box, but hardware
only. A cursory scan of the web has not turned up any significant
amount of information other than rather general this is what it does
stuff.
Can any one point me at something that resembles an owner's manual. Is
there special software needed?
Thanks!
