HP9133 user guide...?

[Joe R.]

Hey Steve,

   How about letting the rest of us in on the secret of how to do it! BTW
just got a "new" ICS GP-IB analyzer that I need to try out. It appears to
work the same as the HPs but it's packaged differently and it's alot easier
to use.

   BTW II. Just picked up a STD bus system today made by Octagon Systems.
This thing kicks ass! 9 MHz 64180 CPU, built-in EPROM burner, 3 serial
interfaces, parallel interface, keyboard interface, Analog input and output
interfaces, uses EPROM, NVRAM or EEPROM and more! Also got the manual for
it, several IO cables, chassis, PSU and a Data Aquisition card.
