I have some HP320's with 98568Y CPU boxes and
98568A expanders. My questions are:
1; Is there a SCSI interface that will fit these?
2; Will the 68030 upgrade (98243C) fit ?
BTW - I have 10+ of these, with enet, highspeed hpib, monochrome
terminals and 98720 4 plane color boxes. (No color terminals
tho) All are on current HP maintenence. Would sell some or
entertain offers on parts.
There are a few 9144 tapes with these as well. All come
with HP deskside cabinets.
Thanks,
hurf

The 98658A SCSI card will fit in a DIO-I/O slot, and will function, but no boot ROMs available for the Model 320 contain SCSI boot code, nor the SCSI diagnostic code required for official support of SCSI on the 320. > 2; Will the 68030 upgrade (98243C) fit ? Yes, but there are no return credits for the 320 processor board and human interface card.

There is *no* need to boot from HPIB first. If it doesn't work on a 320 it's because of the boot rom, not the board itself. It obviously *is* supported on the 340, so I doubt it's an FCC problem. |> |> > |> > Regards, Hewlett-Packard |> > Bob Niland Internet: rjn@FC.HP.COM 3404 East Harmony Road |> > UUCP: [hplabs|hpfcse]!hpfcrjn!rjn Ft Collins CO 80525-9599 |> > ---------- |> |> Regards, |> |> Cliff |> |> Cliff Weisgerber | cliff@hpdmd48.boi.hp.com >Internet |> Hewlett-Packard | hplabs!hpbsla!cliff >UUCP |> Boise Site Information Technology | cliff weisgerber /hp4600/ux >HPDesk |> Distributed Technical Computing | (208)323-2577 >Voice -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jeff Bailey (Sys.

The RFI test for the Series 300 was performed (by me) in a Model 310, which is legally identical to a 320 for FCC purposes. The real barrier to support is the lack of diagnostic code code on 310/320.
