Well, yes--that would be the most useful direction to MOST people!
But this is classiccmp....
I have many machines, even pocket-sized machines, which can act as HPIB

(and you must admit if you could design something to work the other way,
even for a limited subest of USB peripherals, there would be a certain
hack value in having a USB-capable HP9830...)
