Making an HPIB 'drive' using flash memory
cards (or USB sticks), a
microcontroller, et is one of those projects that gets talked about
here from time to time but which nobody has ever doen.
I got started on building glue logic so a host with a parallel port
could play HP-IB drive. But I think I managed to blow the output stage
on one of the driver ICs on my host machine before I got much of
anywhere. :(
It's one of the projects I intend to pick up one of these years.
Perhaps someone else will get to it first.
Yeah, that;s how I feel. Perhpas when the ST412-interface drives in my HP
drive units fail irreprably, I will take it on.
