I am certain I have read this in the EMU71/DOS manual in the past, but until being discussed in-context like this thread, some of these details just don't register. As I told Dave, I have definitely read Valentin's article more than once, yet missed his note about the HP-IL port.

Seems both need to be read again...

Very much like the Titan File articles Joe Horn republished last year (here). I have read them all many times over the years, but re-reading them provided many new previously unknown ( = forgotten) tips and techniques.
