Err, where do you connect the EPROM programmer, the IC tester, the cable 
wirelister, the GAL programmer, the serial link to the PDP11, the 
GPIB-interfaced instruemtns [1], the HP calculator, and various other 
things that generally get hung off my PC ?

[1] Does a USB-GPIB interface exist? I assume it must do, but I've not 
seen one (I've not seriously looked either, my GPIB stuff is generally 
controller by HP hosts [2])


[2] I've managed to find the HPIB interface for the 9830. A load of TTL 
gates and almost no FFs. As soon as I get some space on the bench, I'll 
get it going...
