Hi Phil, Pete, Tracy and all....

We have those HP-IB extend boxes, using a coax.  We used them for our 2680.
I believe it allowed us to have the printer a good 60-70 feet (20 meteres)
from the CPU.  Want them?  I still got them, sitting on a shelf.  I'll have
to clear it with management first, but I'm sure they won't care.  Pretty
sure, I got the manual too.

There used to be an HP-IB extender product that inserted a coax
somewhere between the two additional halves of the product.  Don't know
what became of it.
