Well, that's an idea naturally, and no, that was not particularly usefull for
this question, but I enjoyed it never the less.

Hmm... I *DO* have a Commodore 64 still sitting around and it still works (last
time I fired it up it acted as a test-source for my frame-grabber card, that's
life when you lack a video-camera).

PET would be cool and they might have the real IEEE-488 bus, but the
Commodore 64 and Amigas have a serialized version on a much smaller (and
cheaper!) DIN-connector.

Maybe it is time to get a real HP computer. ;O)
