I don't know what boot ROM you have. If it's 2.0, then it won't boot from external drives, but only from the internal 5.25" one. This could be a problem in getting software. Unfortunately the 3.0 boot ROM is a larger device and can't (easily) be used on the early version of CPU board. Now that I can understand :-). I've never found the HP 80 series of desktops to be particularly interesting. -tony But it is very easy to use as instrument controller, or CS/SS80 exerciser.. If you got a 9121 as external drive, tapes are not a real option. Small OT question do you know how the wires on the HP-65 cardreader head are soldered (not the ones on the reader pcb) -Rik
