The first is a book that is (or maybe I should say was, my information is about 1 1/2 years out of date) published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill called "The HP-IL System: An Introductory Guide to the Hewlett-Packard Interface Loop". All of the rest of the documents are from HP. "The HP-IL Interface Specification" and "The HP-IL Intergrated Circuit User's Manual" provide information on the HP-IL "standard" and a spec. on a CMOS IC that HP designed to control the HP-IL. All of the documents are avalible in what HP calls the "HP-IL Interface Kit". I would think that you could find more information by contacting the nearest HP Field Office. Also, the January 1983 Hewlett-Packard Journal, the April 1982 Byte, and the June 1982 Digital Design mag's have several articals on the HP-IL.
