Yes, I'd like to get in on this too as a "me too". I've been looking for
CS/80 info since 1990 or '91 when I got my HP 250 system. Must be a
non-published protocol except for certain internal uses. My old HP CE
friend who maintained the 250 for my company was even completely stymied in
finding it back then too.
If we get enough folks together maybe we can form a posse and . . .
Anyway, I guess a real search should be for technical folks who worked at
the Boulder, Colorado operation which is where I understand some of the
computer and disk drive developement was done. Also, maybe somebody from
the German HP operation where the 250's and others were originally made
might be a source. Never know what might be lurking in an old closet or
file cabinet of theirs :)
Regards, Chris
