Does anyone know whether a SCSI interface is available for the HP9000 series 800 systems? Thanks John Alsop

There are many of us waiting for a "standard" disk interface for the 800 series -- and for diskless capability for *all* 800s, not just the NIO ones (815 & its successors). ^ Bo Thide'-------------------------------------------------------------- | | Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 91 Uppsala, Sweden |I| [In Swedish: Institutet f|r RymdFysik, Uppsalaavdelningen (IRFU)] |R| Phone: (+46) 18-403000.

For those which are in an urgent need for a SCSI interface on the 800, say to connect and Exabyte, there's a company called Herstal which makes HPIB -> SCSI conversion boxes for about US $ 1100. They also sell them as a package with Exabytes, and some optical disks. I might be able to dig out the address if somebody is interested. -michael -- Michael Haberler mah@hpuviea.uucp Hewlett-Packard Austria GmbH, ...mcvax!tuvie!hpuviea!mah Lieblgasse 1 ...hplabs!hpbbn!hpuviea!mah A-1220 Vienna, Austria Tel: (0043) (222) 2500 x412 (9-18 CET)

For example, with this box and HP's read/write optical on SCSI, do I need a special driver? Roger N. Clark speclab!rclark

There is an scsi interface available from HP. It is a special product and must be order through the AMSO organization.
