  I'm not sure but those may be the A, B, C jumpers that I mentioned in an
earlier posting in this thread. I don't even remember where I got that but
found it written down in my notebook.  One of the things that I'd like to
do IF I ever had the time would be to open up a bunch of the HP-IB drives
and see what kind of drives they use inside, record the jumper settings,
look for any common boards, etc etc. I have plenty of drives around but I
just haven't had the time to do it.
