Mac OSX and PIL-box

[Steve Nichols]

Is the emulated HP-IL HP82161/HP9114 intended to be accessed via device dependent commands? I ask this because I have a few BASIC/FOCAL programs that do this and I recently got some strange results from a program that was very reliable on physical hardware. The program read all nulls when reading the directory, but got mostly valid info from the header record. This same program got good data in prior runs. Could it be corruption in my HP-71?

Forgive me if this is off topic for this thread.
