I asked the author (Olivier De Smet) about his project.  His reply:

- Yes I hope to continue to develop it this summer
   -I hope to be able to use an HPIB pcmcia card to connect directly HPIB
devices, I don't have an ISA HPIB card).
   - Next I hope to include a plotter emulation (I have enough infos now)
   - ...

- I have also some similar project  for the HP85B and HP75C (same processor)
   but I don't have enough documentations
   - The HP85B emulation isn't operative due to the tape and printer lack
of information
   - Then the capricorn emulation isn't perferct (doesn't pass the hardware
test HP85 rom)
   - For the HP75C I don't have enough info about the I/O adresses.

So there is many thing to do ...
For the source, I need to clean it a lot before release it I think.
