Thanks to all the people who responded to my plea for help controlling HP-IB devices from a discless 330 node. The problem turned out to be one of labeling; HP doesn't. My 340 and 370 both have slow-speed HP-IB as the built-in default device, and you add the high-speed. For some reason on the 330, FAST HP-IB is the default. Since there were several other calls with problems at the Response Center about HP-IB and discless nodes, we never thought to check something so basic as "it's not plugged in". Sigh... By the way, it works fine now, although we were warned about problems using DMA speeds, but s'orrite since we don't need to. I would like to acknowledge the help we got from the Response Center and the local SEs from HP. They stayed with us (one wandered over and noticed the problem) and were very friendly. ********************************************************************* Tony Burzio * Oh, you mean THIS plug!?!
