At least now I know that I can safely ignore these while looking to
build up my HP-HIL peripheral collection :-).
It's up to you waht you collect, but I wouldn't exclude it from such a
colelction because it was an HP-HIL peripheral. It may not be very
useful, but that's no the point...
I'd quite like one, but all the ones I see on E-bay are far too expensive
(or have ridiculous shipping for something that's about the size of a
cigarrette packet) to be worth buying.
WHat HP-HIL devices do you knwo about? The manual I have mentions the
following :
HP35723A touchscreen bezel
HP46021A keyboard. There is also the 46020 keyboard which is functionally
identical, but very differnet internally. That matters to me...
HP46060 mouse
HP46080 extension module (a line driver to add 8 feet of cable)
HP46081 Audio/extension (Same line driver as the 46080, but with a
speaker included, which AFAIK has noting to dow ith the HP-HIL side)
HP46082A/B Audio/extension. Longer distanve line drivers
HP46083 Rotary knob. This is a signle twiddleknob with a button on the
side to seelct what it does (normally X or Y position)
HP460-84 ID module
HP46085 Control dials. 9 User-definable twiddleknobs. Thaes up 3 of the
avaialble 7 addresses (!).
HP46086 function box : 32 definable funciton keys
HP46087 A-size digitizer
HP46088 B-size digitzer
HP46089 4-button cursor (a puck for the 2 digitizers, not really an
HP-HIL device)
HP46094 Quadrature port. For using Quadrature mice, trackballs, etc
HP98203C keybar. A 'compact' keybaard.
HP92916 Bar code reader
For completeness, there's also the HP Inegral keyboard which is an HP-HIL
deviec and differnet to any of the other keybaords. The keyboards also
camme in various national layouts
