I'm trying to attach more than 8 CS80 devices to one HP9000/350. The machine has the built in HPIB as well as 2 98625B high speed HPIB disk interfaces. At first I thought the built in HPIB was dead but now I think that there must be a limit of 8 devices in the cs80 driver in the kernel. If anybody knows for sure, or even better, knows how to get around this, I would appreciate the help. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Bailey (System Administrator) <bailey@math-cs.kent.edu> Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Kent State University Kent - OH 44242

There is a limit of 8 open CS/80 devices, irrespective of the number of buses. There was a version of the code for 6.5 that had a limit if 16, and there may be one for 7.0. I'll poke around on monday and see if I can find it. Since this is unsupported code, we'll need to involve your local HP SE when we provide it. Please have that person contact me.
