Look at the back of the drive next to the hpib connector...On 1 side is the HPIB address wheel. On the other, is the 'configuration switch'. This tell the drive how to split itself up. Its a BCD type switch labelled from 0 to 9. Set it to 0. See pages 3-3 to 3-5 of the 9153/9154 manual (Geting started with)...
