I'm not asking whether an -H drive on a 12821A looks like a non-H on
a 13037. I know they don't. The 12821 has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with
my question, which was whether the -H and non-H drives attached to a
13037 look the same to software.

Whether RTE supports H drives on a 13037 also has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to
do with my question. But I'd be somewhat surprised if it didn't; the
HPIB option on the 13037 had to have been used by *something*.
