345 has built-in internal SCSI, though I don't remember if it had
connectors on the outside. Also possible was the 98625C HP-IB controller.
You can also have an internal disk. Or at least you can with the
case that I have, a long case, typical HP minirack model.

And then again it just might work:) I seem to remember that I used the
same serial cable for a 345 and a 380 and it's just plain standard
null-modem serial cable.
ps. I managed to build 1.5A and I'm a happy camper now. Or I would be
if the 1.5A2 sources I got would build properly, linker can't find
___setlocale_mb_len_max_32. Whoops:)
