Yes! Emu71 can communicate with the 3421A through the PIL-Box just fine. Additionally, the Data Acq ROM can be installed in Emu71.

Note however that the special ROM is not mandatory; it might only make your program a little easier and more compact.  The instruction language of the 3421A is plenty simple, and I used it extensively with a 41cx with HP-IL and XIO, with no data-acquisition ROM.  I think I was mostly done using the 3421A when I got into the 71.
