Subject: Re: HP9885 8" floppy unit
Then it's possible you could give me some
additional help. My HP9000 is
one
380
model. It comes with one HP-IB standard connector (short centronics) and
one
"wide" HP-IB connector of SCSI type. Do you
if one of these connectors is
GPIO ?
Do I need one additional board to manage GPIO devices (with independence
of
the
specific driver problem you told me in a previous message ?
Unless an optional board is installed, the wide Centronics-like connector is
SCSI. It's pretty easy to tell if it's in there, it lives on a set of
standoffs right behind the connector, and the ribbon cable moves from the
mail board to it.
BTW, a 380 can be upgraded to a 385 (33 MHz) with a osc change (socketed!)
and a jumper moved. The '040 in mine has no trouble running at 33MHz, and I
just picked up 16MB of RAM for it (Thanks, Jim!).
Thanks and Greetings
Best Regards
