HP71b HPIL/HPIB devices

[Sylvain Cote]

Hello,

Assuming you only have the HP-82169A on the HP-IL loop
and the HP-2225A on the HP-IB interface.

HP-82169A dip switch setting should be (from left to right) "0 0 0 0 0 1"
Leftmost digit: 0 = Translator / 1 = Mailbox -> here 0
Next 5 digits: address (0..31) -> here 00001 = 1

HP-2225A -> Dip switch 0..7 should be (from left to right) "1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0"
Pos 0 : SRQ Enable -> 1 = ON
Pos 1 : Listen Always -> 0 = OFF
Pos 2..7 : address (0..31) -> here 00010 = 2

Power up everything, on the HP-71B
RESET HPIL (optional)
RESTORE IO
PRINTER IS :2
At that point the printer should be ready, use PRINT or PLIST to test it.
