   I have had
several older HP vectras here that have had HP-HPIL interfaces,
 including an HP Vectra CS (8086) and a Vectra RS-20 (386). The HP-HPIL
 interface was generally supplied as an 8-bit card that plugged directly
 into the ISA bus.  
If you're talking about HP-IL, that is *entirely* different from HP-HIL.

There's nothing called HP-HPIL. 
You are correct. I meant HP-HIL. HP-HPIL was a typograpical error.

I also have HP-IL here, but that's used to interface a gas chromatograph
/mass spectrometer to a HP 9000 series workstation. I know of others here
that have used HP-IL for other HP systems, but I've never seen it on HP PC's.

As far as I know, there was never an ISA plug-in card to do HP-HIL.  The
cards for HP-IL are not too rare.
