The HP 10269B/C General Purpose Probe Interface is just a physical
interconnect between the pods and various probes. The B version is for the
old style HP 1630 pods. The C version is for the HP 1650 all the way
through current style pods.
I think the 10342B just buffers the HP-IB signals and I think you could use
the config and IA files just without the probe. For the RS-232/449 signals
it uses a dual UART (I forget which one) plus the Z-80. I assume the Z-80
is there just to configure the UART. Some day I'll dump the eprom on the
probe just to see what it actually does.
I have a manual and the config and IA files for the 10342B. If there isn't
a scanned copy of the manual on the web I should send a copy of the manual
to someone who can scan the manual and make it available on the web.
I also have a 10314B 80386 proble which mates with a 10269B/C and it has a
bunch of active electronics. I don't have config or IA files for it. Does
anyone else? Not that I have a real need for it nor do I have any 80386
systems (at least not at the moment.)
The HP 10277 might just be a physical interconnect to your own custom
interfaces, if I correctly remember what that thing is.
