I've got one someplace that I haven't used for years. I used it either
with the HP-75D I used to have, or the HP-41C I still have. The connector
is HP-IL, I think. You should be able to use it with just about any HP
that can talk HP-IL, and you can even find HP-IB (GPIB) to HP-IL
converters that might let you talk to it from machines with GPIB
interfaces.
