Just to clarify, GPIB and CS/80 are totally different things. The former
is a hardware standard (it basically states how to transfer bytes between

those bytes will be interpretted).

Has anyone ever scanned this manual? I have it, but only on paper (it's
not exactly thin either...). I don't have a scanner, though.
