hewlett-packard interface bus
(foldoc) | IEEE 488
GBIP
General Purpose Interface Bus
GPIB
Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus
HP-IB
(GPIB, General-Purpose Interface Bus,
HP-IB, Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus) An 8-bit parallel bus
common on test equipment.
The IEEE-488 standard was proposed by Hewlett-Packard in the
late 1970s and has undergone a couple of revisions. HP
documentation (including data sheets and manuals) calls it
HP-IB, or Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus.
It allows up to 15 intelligent devices to share a single bus,
with the slowest device participating in the control and data
transfer handshakes to drive the speed of the transaction.
The maximum data rate is about one megabit per second.
Other standards committees have adopted HP-IB (American
Standards Institute with ANSI Standard MC 1.1 and
International Electro-technical Commission with IEC
Publication 625-1).
To paraphrase from the HP 1989 Test & Measurement Catalog (the
50th Anniversary version): The HP-IB has a party-line
structure wherein all devices on the bus are connected in
parallel. The 16 signal lines within the passive
interconnecting HP-IB (IEEE-488) cable are grouped into three
clusters according to their functions (Data Bus, Data Byte
Transfer Control Bus, General Interface Management Bus).
In June 1987 the IEEE approved a new standard for programmable
instruments called IEEE Std. 488.2-1987 Codes, Formats,
Protocols, and Common Commands. It works with the IEEE
Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation,
IEEE 488-1978 (now 488.1). HP-IB is Hewlett-Packard's
implementation of IEEE 488.1.

packard bell electronics, inc.
(foldoc) | Packard Bell Electronics, Inc.
A leading US computer vendor.
As recently as 29 November 1995 the Wall Street Journal
reported that the company was having financial difficulties
and that one of its major suppliers of CPUs, Intel, was
about to make a large cash loan, so as to prevent loss of a
major customer. Packard Bell is a privately held company and
the WSJ also reported that NEC has been rumored to have
bought a large minority block of shares to help the company
stay in business.
Its computers are sold in major retail outlets in the USA and
are available as a bundled package: desktop or tower 486
CPU, single 3.5 inch floppy disk drive, CD-ROM, {sound
card}, 14 inch colour monitor, and 4-8MB of RAM.
1995 end-of-year prices in Computer Currents magazine (a
California Bay Area bi-monthly giveaway publication) are
US$1500 (approx. 1000 pounds) for a 486 desktop, with 8MB
RAM, 420MB hard disk drive, single 3.5 inch floppy drive, 14
inch colour monitor, 2-speed CD-ROM, and 16-bit sound card.
Headquarters: Sacramento, California, USA.
