The HP 10269B/C General Purpose Probe Interface is just a physical
interconnect between the pods and various probes. The B version is for the
old style HP 1630 pods. The C version is for the HP 1650 all the way
through current style pods.
I think the 10342B just buffers the HP-IB signals and I think you could use
the config and IA files just without the probe. For the RS-232/449 signals
it uses a dual UART (I forget which one) plus the Z-80. I assume the Z-80
is there just to configure the UART. Some day I'll dump the eprom on the
probe just to see what it actually does.
I have a manual and the config and IA files for the 10342B. If there isn't
a scanned copy of the manual on the web I should send a copy of the manual
to someone who can scan the manual and make it available on the web.
I also have a 10314B 80386 proble which mates with a 10269B/C and it has a
bunch of active electronics. I don't have config or IA files for it. Does
anyone else? Not that I have a real need for it nor do I have any 80386
systems (at least not at the moment.)
The HP 10277 might just be a physical interconnect to your own custom
interfaces, if I correctly remember what that thing is.

I dug around this morning and found two logic analyzer pods/CPU
adapters. These are boxs that you plug the pod of the logic analyzer pods
directly into and they usually have a cable that plugs into the CPU socket
of the UUT. When using these you don't use the flying wire leads and
grabbers.
One is the HP 10342B Bus Preprocessor in the HP 10269B General Purpose
Probe Interface. This is for the HP 1630 and 1631 series LAs. This
particular preprocessor is used for monitoring RS-449, RS-232 or HP-IB
busses and acquiring data directly from the bus. You can replace the Bus
Preprocessor with various CPU adapters. I opened both of these up and the
10269 doesn't have any parts in it other than cables, PC boards and various
connectors. However the Bus Preprocessor is full of ICs, including a Z-80
CPU.
The other logic analyzer pods/CPU adapter is a HP 10277 and is for the
HP 1610 sereis LAs. It's a single unit and it doesn't have any active parts
in it. However it has connectors for ribbon cables to connect the the test
bewing tested and I don't have the cables so it's POSSIBLE that there may
be some active parts in the cable or something attached to the other end of
it.
