Well,... We got 979 1 years ago,

According to HP can not connect HP-IB to precision Bus Adapter
Guess what, one of third party maintenance company have Interface
between HP-IB to HP-PB, Name of company slip in my head now,
But, Since than we can still use Old 2680A, 7980XC and 2563A
I am confuse by politically correct answer, not technically correct answer.
Thanks God....
