> Sergio,

Hi :-)

> Yes it CAN be attached. You'd have to use the GPIO interface and
probably have to write you're own drivers. The GPIO interface is the nearest
thing to the original interface (HP 98034 option 85 IIRC) for the 9885. I
THINK I remember that HP did make an 9885 interface for the early 9000 200
series computers but I don't remember the details. The original interface
for the 9885 is a 16 bit parallel interface, it is NOT SASI or SCSI.

Great !
Thanks for the information. I shall try to send you one photo of the disk
unit backside
to see the connectors I told in my previous message.

Thanks and Greetings
With Best Regards
Sergio
