Hi All
Not sure if this is the correct section but just a heads up on using the PIL-IO box for RS232.
For a lower cost alternative to the HP-IL-RS232 interface, I have found a rather nifty little module by Digilent model PmodRS232 UART-RS232 Converter Module. This module converts UART to RS232, just connect to the UART output of the PIL-IO box and you have RS232 level signals out i.e. a HP-IL to RS232 Interface! Successfully used to control a RS232 plotter.
