Hello, Jerry,
I could potentialy come up to Kent (I live in the PDX area) later this
week or the coming weekend and pick up one (or both) of the SCSI drives.
I have a small (Toyota 4x4) pickup, would this be large enough?
That's assuming they're not already gone.
Thanks,

I'm casually interested. I have a sister in down in Vancouver, WA. I
don't suppose you head down there at all?
Now if you had an HP-7970 I'd be all over that. :)
I'm not sure if an HP-1000 series can handle an HPIB interface drive
instead of whatever the interface is on a 7970.
Anyone care to comment on that?
Also there have been a few HPIB floppy drives on eBay. I'm wondering how
much work it would be to get them attached to an HP-1000 series machine.

I have a 7970A that is only partially functional. Looking for a good home.

Sure, HP-IB tape drives, no
problem.

Connect a
cable between the HP-IB interface PCA and the floppy drive. Write
a little code :D

Anyone have spare HP-IB cards around then? :) I'm guessing they look
different from a software perspective, so a 7980 on HP-IB would not be
usable by existing TSB releases. <insert code here> :)
