Hi, I do remember that when installing HP-UX 9 and earlier, you could not mix and match SCSI and HP-IB. If you boot from HP-IB you can install on HP-IB, if you boot from SCSI, you can install on a SCSI disk. That may be a limitation in the installer. Once you have everything installed, you can

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

It looks like the on board SCSI is straight through wikimedia has images of the 380 CPU board plumbed to the bulkhead with just a cable/connector On Thu, Dec 27, 2018 at 2:22 PM Kevin Bowling wrote: > I have one of these, but the system has HP-IB disk and tape. I'd like > to use a SCSI tape to

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
