I'll have the ROM listings, if you want a scan let me know. 
No state machines, except a overview diagram.

I've a 6942A multi-programmer and am awaiting some cards and connectors I've

I do have some digital in/output cards, but no A/D cards so I got one on
epay and wait..

Why this combination and not a HP 9816 or other basic machine with HP-IB ?
