Having run out of space on our current harddisk, we are considering buying an additional one. I would like to know if there are any harddisks out there compatible with the HP products that can be hooked up via an HP-IB on an HP9000 series 300 computer system? You can e-mail replies to me at the addresses given below. Thanks for your help. --- Pierre Mathieu mathieu@ists.yorku.ca Institute for Space and Terrestrial Studies mathieu@yunexus.yorku.ca Center for Research in Exp.

The offerings were cheaper than HP's, but much more expensive than comparable units for DEC, etc. Not particularly good per- formance-wise, either. But my last contact with them was more than a year ago, so maybe this has all changed.... greg pavlov, fstrf, amherst, ny

[Stuff deleted] Two other companies are Herstal Automation Limited and IEM. Herstal is in Berkley, MI @ 313-548-2001, and IEM is in Fort Collins, CO @ 303-223-6071. I haven't used any of them; just passing the info along..... <> greg pavlov, fstrf, amherst, ny -- Dave Remien - WINCO Computer Engineering Group (only somewhat confused, now) 208-526-3523 Paths: ...!bigtex!pmafire!dave | ...!ucdavis!egg-id!pma386!dave
