The SCSI connector on the bulhead of the 380 CPU card is a standard 50 pin SCSI-1 single ended SCSI connector.  Like most SCSI initiators the bus is terminated on the system board.  The built in interface is equivalent to the 98568A DIO SCSI interface card.  I have never tried to boot from a tape drive, but I do know that booting from CDROM and disk does work.

I have one of these, but the system has HP-IB disk and tape.  I'd like
to use a SCSI tape to install on it.  On the CPU card, there is what
looks like a 50-pin connector.  Does that need active electronics to
work like the second HP-IB bulkhead that currently occupies the slot?

Also does anyone have digital manuals for this particular model?
