Re: 41CV+82160A+82166A what to do with? Message #3 Posted by Reinhard Hawel (Austria) on 14 Sept 2000, 9:17 a.m., in response to message #1 by Daniel Aronovitch
The HP82166 is a so-called GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) device.
It can be programmed to build a parallel port for connecting a printer or even to read from a parallel port. I did some experiments years ago and a friend of mine wrote an interface software for connecting the 71B with a Commodore Amiga. I should have the listing somewhere and could ask him for permission for making it public.
I remember, that we made some tests using the Amiga as a display and keyboard device for the 71 (via DISPLAY IS and KEYBOARD IS).
Sorry, no real experiences with the 41 series, but I'd also think, you should have an extended I/O module or, better a HP-IL development module.
