As you surely know from the HP museum forum, there is support for HPIL

the PC HP-IL card (which is ISA unfortunately),
Except that it doesn't have the low level commands that are available
with the calculator versions. One of the problems with it was that you need
a slow computer to run it. I've had a lot of people contact me looking for
source code or intenal documentaion for it so that they could rewrite the
drivers to get around the speed problem and/or to run it under Linux. Does
anyone know if they've ever had any success?
but I do agree for HP-IL,
the original system is still the first choice.
The HP-71 is probably the best IL controller ever made but I just didn't
warm up to it they way that I did the HP-41.
