I'm using the HP 3.1 IEEE-488 cable going to an (old) 8-bit National
Instruments GPIB-PC2 card in a 386/25 with a 16 ms mean access hard drive,
with SMARTDRV disk caching (write caching enabled). The HPPCLINK (HP and
PC) programs written by Morgan Conrad and Ravi Mhatre while at B-D, and put
in the public domain by B-D, manage the transfer. The PC does not need
Windows. With this set-up, a 42K file takes 14 seconds to transfer, so it
goes at 3K bytes/second.
I'm curious whether a 16 bit board speeds things up, and how WHPPC compares
with HPPCLINK.
