As for the HP64000s, the consoles are ok, but the disk
drive drowned.
From a quick search, I'm not real optimistic about finding another
HPIB disk drive and I'm not too excited about plunging into this one
to try and fix him (he was running when the waters came and he smells
very bad). Has anyone ever taught a PC (for example) with a GPIB card
to think it's a CS80 Drive?? Does anyone have a spare disk gathering
dust? Failing that, does anyone (besides me) still use these things?
The consoles are probably too heavy to ship, but I have lots of cards,
software, manuals etc in working order if anyone needs them.
I started a project on Sourceforge (softcs80) to do that. I found the
specs on bitsavers (Thanks Al) and they don't look to terribly bad... If
only a PCI GPIB card would be a bit cheaper...
Kind regards,
Maurice
