I've never heard of one. Does anyone make one? I'm pretty sure all of HP's are RS-232.

I don't have a HP catalog any more so I'm not sure what a 98574 is but if it's a video card then the connector is probably for a daughter baord with more video RAM. That's pretty common on the HPs. I DOUBT that it's for a floppy drive even if it's not on the video card.
