Onderwerp: Re: Wanted - HP16530A docs, HP-HIL
keyboard/mouse/PS2 adapter
The PCB in
keyboard, the HP46030.
I'm using a HP 46021A for my HP 16500A.
The feet for the HP 16500 housing are the standard instrument snap feet from
HP/Agilent it should not be very difficult to get them .
The differences between the workstation (HP9000) keyboards and early Vectra
keyboards are the function keys MSDOS needs different functions as HP-UX or
RMB are using.

Then there is at least one more very common HP-HIL I have several of them, they are/were used on the
HP Vectra
PCs. And
they physically work with HP workstations, but
the key
codes don't match.
Intereasting. I wonder what its ID byte is.
Is it similar to the HP120/Hp150 keyboard issue (see a thread
I started some months back). Those keyboards are not HP-HIL
of course, but they have much the same interface as each
other but a totally different matrix layoug. I hacked an
HP150 keyboard to use on my HP120...
I wonder why HP made an incompatible HP-HIL keyboard for the
PC range.
Why not just use the standard one?
