[comp.sys.handhelds] HP-IL specification

epl@luwish.zko.dec.com (Edward P. Luwish) (05/01/91)

Hello out there --

I have been looking for a copy of the HP-IL Reference Specification,
which HP no longer stocks.  It supposedly contains the full set of
commands and state transitions, as well as electrical specs.

This book is referred to in the Osborne/McGraw-Hill HP-IL book and
in several HP-71 vintage reference guides.

Does anyone out there have it?  Please respond via mail (or post the info).
I would be happy to pay for copying expenses and postage.

Another thing I am interested in is detailed information on the HP-IL
floppy disk drive - especially any low-level (track and sector) diagnostic
commands I can give it to read non-HP-format floppies or binaries
from machines other than HP-41, HP-71 and HP-75.  Same offer.
