I have an HP 7980A 9-track with a GPIB interface. The CS/80 docs on

write any code to talk to it from a PC.
A! That's what I should get then.
And there really are CS/80 docs? I was told by Greeley in 1988 that they
had ceased to exist. Not even HP Europe had any left. Not even any
Greeley retirees... All I could get were the SS/80 and Amigo manuals.
A quick look @ bitsavers (again) failed to turn them up. If they're
there, I'll find them...
