OK... Quick
survey. How many people on the list own a HPIB bus
analyzer and have ever made "real" use of it?
I've used a logic
analyser to grab data off an HPIB interface....
Speaking of HPIB....
I wanted to build interface electronics so that one of my "modern"
machines could act as HPIB disk for my hp300s. While I was working on
this, I suspect I managed to short something to soemthing else
unfortunate and blow a driver. It stopped working even when my
electronics were out of the loop, and one of the bits semeed to have
developed a stuck-at fault, hence my suspicion.
Is there anyone here who knows enough about typical HPIB hardware of
the hp300 era to be able to take a list of chip markings and tell me
which one is probably the relevant driver? Preferably, also tell me
enough that I can patch on a substitute (if necessary by stealing a
driver chip from other hardware - for example, I've got a dead HPIB
disk drive which I could raid for chips at need)?
