Zero connectivity.

The entire reason I got into the HP-41 and later the 71 was HP-IL and the fact that they could connect to lots of things at once. (I've connected up to a half-dozen things at once.) I have the interface converters to connect to IEEE-488 lab equipment, and RS-232, and parallel, plus the 80-column video interface. I have two of the high-speed microcassette drives, and have interfaced to various printers. I have a card reader and bar-code wand. I never got a disc drive; but I have the 71B-TALK software to connect the 71 to a PC so it can use the PC's full-size keyboard, monitor, and its disc drive(s).
