The two volumes on the MoHPC flash drive are dated Jan. 1984; the cover page of Volume II even states "Version 1.0 - Preliminary". The copies that I have are dated Mar. 1983 and are clearly labelled as final release. Volume I is 10 pages longer and Volume II is 44 pages longer than the versions on the flash drive.

I have a paper version of the HP-IL IDS dated March 1984. There are just a few differences in the source code against the preliminary version of January 1984. I scanned the pages with the differences, can you check if this matches your version? : HP-IL IDS update

Yes, please check. I'm really really interested by the HP-71B IDS of version 2CCCC for documenting the differences vs 1BBBB. The 2CCCC IDS existed and were available for sale, see this leaflet!
