The SASI port is internal - there are two PCBs [...]
This...does not agree with the reality I find upon opening up the
first HP-IB disk that came to hand (a 7958). [...] Your 7958 sounds like a perfectly valid way of doing
things... in
fact, since it uses a 1355, I'm sort of intrigued (since I have a few
on the shelf). I'll have to try to remember that HP model number
when I'm digging for drive docs.
I should poke around and see if I have any other drives with that
interface (what is it, ESDI?). If I have any _largeish_ such drives
(FVO "largeish" of about "more than about ?G") I'd be extremely
tempted
to hook one up and see if it works.
I also should dig out that SBus IEEE488 card and see if I can scare up
any doc on it.
