Kermit needed OR HP/IB assist. // } Someone told me that I should be } able to send it over the hp/IB bus, but I can't get either end to tell } me that the other is there when they are connected with an hp/IB cable. Probably both HP-IB ports are configured as bus controller. One of them will need to be switched to non-controller. I would *guess* that this would be easier on the 9836, but that's based on experience using HP BASIC, not Pascal or HP-UX. I don't know what you need to tell the software after you make the switch. } The 9836 is running what looks like a standard p-system, labelled } Demo 2.X1 4-Mar-83. I don't recognize this identification string. The current version of the Pascal Workstation is 3.22. It looks like a p-system, but the compiler goes to native code, and the libraries contain HP device I/O and graphics extensions. You may need the I/O extensions to talk to the HP-IB as non-controller. // mjb%hoosier.utah.edu@cs.utah.edu (Mark Bradakis) // } >I also can't get a directory from the 9836 of the 7958B disk drive, } >regardless of how it is connected. } Does the 9836 have a hard disk drive? You can use lif* to look at LIF } dirs on the hpux system, but no inverse facilities exist as far as I know } for reading hpux disks on the pascal system. The lif* utilities should also work for floppy drives. Starting with version 3.2 the Pascal Workstation can use the HFS (HP-UX) disk format, in addition to LIF.
