  All of this HP 1000 talk got me going on mine. 
 Good. Mission Accomplished :) 

  Does anyone have a stash of these.   Yes. 

  I have no cables and 
 cant seem to find anyone that does. It seems that most 
 of these are offered with out the cables. I would guess they 
 all go to bulhead connectors and are just easier to slip off the 
 connector on the cards.   (on HP) No, I've never run into any cabinet bulkhead
connectors except for 
 DB25 panels (well, ok, some of the 13037 stuff). Everything else was direct 
 cable from device to interface. On a properly buttoned up HP it wouldn't be 
 easier to slip them off the cards, what with ground cables sometimes screwed 
 in and the PCA retainer bracket locked in and the rear panel over the I/O 
 cards for proper ventilation and the battery backup over that ;. That's not 
 to say everyone observed those recomendations of course. 

  - Console 12966a   I don't have a
spare, I make more anytime I need one from spare connector 
 hoods. The jumpers in the hood for wiring to a BACI are a pain.  

I pickup a few connectors today and will make up one shortly

...

  - HPIB disk 12821a   I may have a spare,
what length do you need.  

Beggers can't be picky . I can handle most anything 
Disk would be in a floor cabinet 

...

  - HPIB Mag tape 13183   Hummm I don't
have manuals in hand, but I don't believe 13183 is a HPIB card 
 is it? Isn't that the "normal" HP proprietary interface? 

your right. The list I have does not really say.  I have 4) 7970b's
is this 2 card set for these ??  of coarse no cables

The HP 12250-60001 is very close to a 12792 muxer card
in chip type  and layout.  Both use 0.10" pin spacing on the
external connector. 

The Other is a Typo   It is a FPS n612 4256 001  (non Hp card)
Date code is old. (1977)

Have Pics. but no easy place to post. can E-mail

  Doesn't ring a bell at all. Got pics?

This thing has 2 different  disk interfaces.  13175D and 12821A 
I have both HPIB and 7906 dives

I have both 7970b and 7980E Mag Tape drives 

Thanks, jerry
