Received a package today from HP. The FREE HPUX 9.00 -> 10.20 software
upgrade had finally arrived. The package contains: The the core OS,
Diagnostics, Patches and extensions, HP-UX recovery, LaserRom
documentation, Instant information, HP-UX install, HP-UX applications,
Hardware extensions, and Upgrade tool. A total of 16 CDs and a handful
of installation instructions.
Very Impressive!
Now the problem :-(
I don't have a CD ROM with a HPIB interface and from what I understand
thay aren't that easy to come by. So... If anyone knows where I could
beg, borrow, or steal one, I'd be forever indebted.
The computer also has a SCSI card in it. It looks like a standard 50 pin
flat cable connector will work here so, it might be possible to use a
"regular" SCSI CD ROM. Is there any reason that this wouldn't work? Can
I boot the computer from a SCSI device?
