HP didn't make a bar wand for the HP-71B.
However, they did make general purpose bar wands for OEM applications.
Zengrange, the same people that made ZENROMs and ZEPROMs for the HP-41,
bought the OEM wand and integrated it into a product for the HP-71B
called the ZENWAND.
Sorry to pick nits, but I didn't want anyone who isn't familiar with
the history to go on a wild goose chase for a non-existent HP product.
