For the reason already stated (HP would call it
'HPIB', not 'GPIB' or

just use a SEND command unless it as an HP9830 when it was CMD.
HP may well not have used the IEEE ref, but I would think the code was
more likely written by the end customer or the assembler of the ATE
system, not HP.
For alternatives, what other companies made HPIB/GPIB/IEEE controllers?
The only one that popped into my head was the IBM CS-9000 but that had a
Motorola 68000 CPU, and I don't think that fits. OTOH, I could not find
quickly find an opcode table for the 68K either...
