Howdy; I was wondering if among all the collectors of odd junk out there someone could tell me what the following is : Hewlett Packard 88396 SCSI/parallel interface. It's a small plastic unit about 150mm x 100mm x 25mm, with a 50-way SCSI connector on one end and a DB25 on the other, with markings indicating that these are the SCSI bus and parallel interface respectively. Inside is a 6809 and a 5380 in a fairly vanilla arrangement. Putting it on a SCSI bus doesn't do much; the "online" LED goes out for a moment when you plug it in but it doesn't show up when you probe the bus. My guess is either that it's a SCSI adapter for computers with only parallel ports for talking to HP scanners, or it's dead... -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
