I have an HP1631D Logic Analyzer and it has an HPIB (GPIB) Port too, but
as far as I know it is only used to connect a special HP Floppy Disc Drive
with HPIB bus, the HP9122 for example, others exist, even a hard drive.
It is used to load and store measurements and loading disassemblers.
Maybe it can handle a printer too.
I've got such an HP9122 later and tested it with the Analyzer...works.
(BTW: does someone have Z80 an 6809 Disassemblers for the 1631D?)
Regards,
Holm
