Hmm now that I'm reminded that a large proportion

Was that called "IEC"?
I kind of want to see now if an IBV11 and Commodore
1541 can be abused
into cooperating. (There'd need to be a small "box of stuff" to turn
the real 488 bus to CBM's serial thing.)
I used to have an aftermarket drive for Commodore 64 made by MSD? that had
both the Commodore serial AND the full GPIB IEEE488 interfaces. I cabled
that to an IEEE488 board on a PC, but then life got in the way, and I
never got around to mastering it.
It can be done, but I didn't do it.
