It has a lot of uses on the workbench. It's probably good they say they won't ship to the US, because otherwise I might buy one, now when I probably shouldn't because we've just had a month of major expenses. I do have the less-versatile 82165A, also the 82169A HPIL-to-IEEE488, and the FSI164A which is like the 82164A HPIL-to-RS232 but has two channels and had the option to go up to eight and the option of battery power.
