I saw that GBIB controller on ebay and was giving it some consideration before you snapped it up, well done.I am also new to the AIM-65 and would be interested in the Gerbers, if you are both willing to share.
I can start a separate thread if preferred, but I just purchased an RM65-7102E GPIB controller on eBay, and I would be willing to undergo a similar recreation process if there is any interest. I have searched for the manual, but cannot seem to locate it anywhere. Does anybody have any tips to locate a scan or physical copy?
In the past I also bought an RM-65 ACIA card, luckily it had the manual. The manuals normally contain the code for the AIM-65 to activate the card. All of these cards were intended to adapt onto the AIM-65 with the standard adapter card like the one I replicated. The ACIA card allows a video output too, by way of connecting to a terminal, or computer acting as a terminal. I'd figured that the GPIB card, would work off the bat with the Taylor Wilson GPIB PET printer interface, another project I did for my PET. It probably would work with the SFD1001 Disk drive too which has a GPIB input, though for that I think some additional firmware would be required for the AIM to drive that, though I am not certain about that, because it is possible that the information to do this sort of thing is in the manual.
