Anyone,

We're trying to use a 98625A (or B) High-Speed HP-IB Interface on
our HP9000/320 workstation running HP-UX 6.2, but it doesn't work.
Specifically, the open call on the raw device fails:  "No such device
or address".

The raw device is as follows:

crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      21 0x0f1f00 Mar 28  1989 /dev/hpib_raw.0f

The interface did work under HP-UX 6.0.1.  We have tried altering the
interrupt levels and switching the interface to "slow" mode, but to no
avail.

HP's Configuration Reference Manual's section on the 98625A (Page A-392)
says, "... not recommended for use as a Device I/O Library (DIL)
HP-IB interface," but it doesn't say why or any more than that.

Can anyone help?

Leland Woodbury
