I was flipping through the "HP 9000 Device I/O Users Guide" today and
saw reference to HPIB printers that used the AMIGO protocol! This blew
me away. I always thought the protocol was strictly for disk drives
(hard & floppy) but, apparently it was broader than that. 

BTW: The DOCS don't indicate which specific printers.

See ya,
