[comp.sys.hp] HPIB ON VECTRA

Mike_W_Ryan@cup.portal.com (12/09/88)

I am trying to hook up a 9133H disc drive on a Vectra QS16.
The product I am using is 82990E HPIB command library. I have a 40 meg
internal drive, 1.2 meg, and 1.4 meg (3.5) floppies internal to
the vectra. The end result is that I can access the floppy in the
9133H but not the hard disk. No matter whether I try the e: or the f:
drive, I end up accessing the floppy. My config.sys looks like this:
DEVICE=GDCA.COM
DEVICE=ADVPRINT.DRV
FILES=50
SHELL=\PAMCODE.COM ROOT
BUFFERS=16
DEVICE=HARDRIVE.SYS
DEVICE=\MOUSE.SYS
DEVICE=HPIB.SYS LPT2=300
DEVICE=C:\HPDISC.SYS
DEVICE=HPIB.SYS LPT3=301
DEVICE=C:\HPDISC.SYS

My understanding is that the 9133H has a single HPIB device number, and the
floppy and hard drive are units 1 and 0 or vice versa. I have tried it both
ways.

Any ideas what could be wrong?
