built in HPIB? Message #7 Posted by Christof on 27 Feb 2003, 4:02 a.m., in response to message #6 by Vassilis Prevelakis
okay, now armed wiht a magnavoz series 80 monitor and a 9121D dual floppy drive, I'm ready to go....
or maybe not
1: MASS STORAGE IS xxx doesn't work with anyhting I cna figure out (the test switch is up (normal) and the address switches are 1=down 2=up 4=up) on the drive.
the built in HPIB (it *is* built in HPIB on a 86B machine, I am assured. And it's labelled) doesn't seem to have a switcc system *shrug*
so, mass storage is 701 doesn't work, neither does 706. this is also true for prefixes 0,2,3,4,5,6. ( haven't tried 1 yet, guess I will soon)
I get error 88, BAD STATEMENT no matter what I do with mass storage.
2: the monitor is fine, but I'm having the same problem I had using the PC and TV composite inputs. the top 2 " pixel lines" of the top line of the 86 display are out of the range of all composite video outputs I've hooked up. Not world shattering, but weird. makes a capital A look like a shortened H.
any ideas?
