It is if you know where to look :)
ftp://ftp.agilent.com/pub/callpub1/ddt/misc/HPIB_Tut.pdf

The PDF on Agilent's FTP site ("Tutorial Description of the Hewlett Packard
Interface Bus") seems to be undated, but it mentions IEEE 488.1, which was
first released in 1978, IIRC.
I did find the patent HP had on three-wire handshaking - assuming patents are
still only valid for 20 years, then it's long since expired. I found the
patent in question - US3,810,103; a.k.a. GB1394646. I was going to grab a
copy of the patent off GB-esp_at_cenet, but it was down for maintenance earlier
and is still playing up.

Later.
