  Stick to 488, it's a lot easier to use and a lot easier to find. You need
a special IC for the IL interface and it hasn't been available for a LONG
time. There are some good docs available the describe the IL systems but
even those are mostly collectors items now.

     I THINK there is. I used to have a 1630 but it's been a LONG time
since I've worked on it.
