Another way to do HP-IB or IEEE488 on Amy is with a converter box.
I believe "Black Boxes" (whose phone number and address I can't
lay my hands on right now) makes converters from RS-232 to IEEE488.
I'd expect it to run about $200.  (Frankly, my Amy RS-232 port is
already **HEAVILY** overloaded by a plotter, two printers and a modem...)

How much interest is there in HP-IB for Amy?  Would it be worth some
of us who deal with HP-IB professionally coming up with a product or
a construction article?  What sort of software would have to be
provided to make it interesting?

Cheers,
