Onderwerp: Talking of odd HP interfaces (PCIB)
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?
