Hi folks,
I have recently got a HP 7978 9-track tape drive with HPIB (IEEE 488,
GPIB) interface.
Now I'm looking for documentation. Does anybody have documentation for
that drive? Would be glad to hear from your....Thanks.
Any experience with interfacing these monsters to modern PCs?? I think
of writing a linux driver for it......
Best regards,
Philipp :-)

Don't have the docs, but would be very interested in a set. Also have a 7978
I'd like to understand self-test codes for.
If someone should have docs please reply on list.
TIA,
Lee Courtney

No, sorry. I have an 7978B
tape. That's a drive with a front door.

I'll bring the diag/docs manual I've got to VCF, to
loan it to Al, if he's interested in it.

THanks Stan. If Al isn't interested in scanning (which I'd be surprised if
he wasn't) I will.

Cool....
Now my drive's power supply has collapsed while I was programming the
first instructions on the hpib bus :-(
I could use a schematic of the power supply......
