This is your opportunity to improve your own environment :)

The subject came up frequently at SIG3000 last week!

Contact SIGSysMan (chair: Donna Garverick [log in to unmask])
... one of the action items they now "own" is the:
  "HP should give the HPIB driver source code to Interex and/or vendors".

If HP did that, it would make it possible for you to obtain an HP-IB
drive for MPE/iX 6.5 ... possibly free, possibly for a cost.

Clearly, HP Marketing probably won't be in favor of this...but the
old HP Way should make their way clear: help the customer!
