A CS/80 implementation would generally follow the same model as the ICD 
implementation in hp2100_di_da.c.  That is, the module would interpret the 
HP-IB secondaries as received from the 12821A interface as CS/80 commands, 
pick up the associated parameter data bytes, and then call the appropriate 
HP disc library routines (e.g., seek, read, write, etc.) to execute the 
commands.  The ICD module does this for the Amigo command set; I would 
expect the CS/80 version to contain about 70% of the same code, with the 
rest handling the differences between the Amigo and CS/80 command sets.
