Excellent.  A good book if one wants to understand the GPIB at the
handshake level (or the 6502-code level).  It's obviously PET
oriented, so the character-level detail won't directly apply to
understanding how HP devices work, but it does do a good job of
illustrated how talkers, listeners, secondary addresses, etc., all
work.
