I shall try to ask about it to the previous owner of the machine.
I think that I have the old messages that I've interchanged with him yet,
included the photos of how to dismount and mount the Paper Tape
Reader/Puncher.
Depending of the answers, we could even consider a module interchange ;-)
One HP-IB for one RS-232 board (but I don't think it would be so easy).
Thanks and Greetings
Best Regards
Sergio

so I think it's all working now. But I'm not sure what most of the controls
are supposed to do. Is there anyone familar with these that can help?

properly but it at least makes noises now when I press various buttons. (An
operator's manual would be handy about now!) It would interesting to have
one with HP-IB interface! I'm thinking about putting this on the HP 1000
that I just got so HP-IB interface would be perfect. I've never even heard
of a reader/punch with a HP-IB interface.
