I use VXI a lot, and I have tons of VXI documentation in PDF format

Thanks Dave!
I started a dedicated vxi group at groups.io a while back and there's a few members there but no action yet. There's a database of VXI modules, incomplete but slowly getting there, and I just uploaded all the Win95/NT VXI plug&play config files I've found (for VXI modules and normal HP TE) there so people can get them if they need them.
Maybe another database of VXI documents could be an idea?
I'm just gathering stuff together right now so I can hit the ground running once the shack is complete - being in isolation has helped as I trim pine trees first thing every day and then while the rest of the family are dragging the branches around, I can sneak off and build the shack uninterrupted. :^)
One item I'd love to obtain is an E1323A or E2441B preprocessor card so I can sniff the VXI bus with my 16702B for the "interesting" modules I've obtained that don't have any documentation. There's one on eBay but they want US$100 for it, and add the international shipping it becomes well over $200 of NZ dollars which is a bit much for me right now.
Cheers,
Andy
