Sorry...The ones HP makes will NOT work with the 825! And the word from the Sales Rep and the System Engineers is that an HP-IB r/w optical will NOT happen. IEM and Bering make HP-IB r/w optical drives so you are NOT completely out in the dark. See any recent issue of HP professional for Addresses and Phone numbers. (Or you can wait for Hp-Ux 8.0 which is rumored to allow SCSI cards for HP-9000/800 series computers. Of course then you will also have to buy the SCSI card too, assuming that such an item is developed, tested, and marketed.) -------- john kemp ( ( )_ internet - kemp@uiatma.atmos.uiuc.edu ----- ( ( __) decnet - uiatmb::kemp --- univ of illinois (_ ( __) bitnet - {uunet,convex} -- dept of atmos sci .(____). !uiucuxc!uiatma!kemp - 105 s gregory ave ... phone - (217) 333-6881 - urbana, il 61801 ... fax - (217) 444-4393
