I have two of them, with manuals. One of them has the add-on waveform
storage module and can drive an HP plotter for hard copy.

I must admit, I find the fans a bit noisy! I suppose I'm used to
scopes that don't need a fan -- my Tektronix 464, for example.
I have the add-on Polaroid camera for the Tek 464, BTW.

I havn't tried out the HP1980's HP-IB interface yet.
