You need at least two HP-IL connected HP-71B, with one acting as a controller and the other(s) acting as device.

On the controller machine load the BC5C program (P.46) and on the device machine(s) load the BC3D program (P.45).
These programs were part of my Advanced HP-IL Communication presentation given at HHC 2022 and at Allschwil 2022 meetings.

The BC3D program assumes multiple devices and adds a delay line to show the asynchronicity of the communication.
If you want the maximum throughput, comment line 40.
