I'd love to have one, never seen a live one - but
it was one of the experimental 68k based terms
brought to you by the makers of Unix(tm) ;)
While the BLIT was experimental (and contrary to other posters was
68000-based), it was commercialized as the AT&T 5620. It was the 5620 that
was based on a WE processor. We had tons of them at Georgia Tech. The
successor terminals (the 630 & 730) switched back to the 68000.

I've been playing around with the Inverse Assembler toolkit for HP logic
analyzers after Joe Rigdon asked me some questions about them recently.
It's a neat capability; you write them in a simple language that gets
compiled to some kind of intermediate code, and that is interpretable on
just about any analyzer from the 1630A up.
I've written one for the 8008, which I would be happy to make available to
anyone interested. I'm wondering if anyone has any others, like the 6502,
8080, 6800 etc. Typically I think they came with the matching probe
fixtures, but you only have to know what bits to hook for the status word in
order to use them with the standard probes. There doesn't seem to be an
archive on the net for these, aside from a few on Agilent's website.

I have been looking for inverse assembler modules for my HP logic analyzer
for some time, to no avail. Any chance I might be able to snag a copy of the
Inverse Assembler toolkit? I'd dearly love to write up a module for the 2100
and/or 21MX....

There is a primative native disassembler for the HP 2100's. Its part of
a cleaver little debug tool called OCTAPUS-C, which you can find a
binary for on Terry's HP-IPL/OS web page, along with some documentation
for it.
Just in case your needing to disassemble something right away...

Right, I should have put that in the original posting... there are a few of
Agilent's IA's at ftp://ftp.agilent.com/pub/callpub/ddt/IA/ and the toolkit
is at ftp://ftp.agilent.com/pub/callpub/ddt/10391b/.

I found some informatyion on the probes tucked into the back of the 16510A
documentation,
and this statement may not be correct. It's possible that the probes may
decode some
states in hardware, and that the IAs may depend on this decoding. But it's
not 100%
clear in the documentation.

I checked the description in the HP catalog and it implies the same thing but it's
not clear about it. I've run across a few pods, I should grab one and open it up and
see it there's anything inside. Another thing to add to the "To Do" list!
