play with the HP-IB control and data aquisition. I think I have some HP
software here somewhere for the 1980 but I don't remember what system it
runs on.

It is okay as an instrument, but I don't like the ergonomics; in fact,
I hate them.

Which is why I use mostly the TeK 2213. Sometimes I even prefer to
dust off my hp180 instead of the hp1980b.

as many parts and docs for the Tektronix has he does. Deane worked for
Tektroninx for about 40 years and must have been collecting parts and
manuals the whole time! If he doesn't have it then you're not likely to
find it.

Does anybody have email contact info for him? This thread has reminded me
about getting the service manual for the 2213...
