The interface was produced and sold by the Kristal company in 1985.

Bonjour Jean-François,
Very little is said in the article on the hardware implementation side.
Did you use the 82166A or use the parts that was included in the 86166C for the HP-IL side ?
Did you use an Intel 8051 MCU to implement the HP-GL logic handler ?
Do you still have board available ?
