I've added a FAQ.TXT file to the FILES section of the the hpseries80 Yahoo group. This is a bare seed of a FAQ file, but is a starting point. Suggestions AND...

Thanks for the tip about the HP 87 manual. Next question - can an RS 232 device be connected to the HP IB port on the HP86B? We have no HP IB cables at all -...
