Sigh, no one claimed my HP-IB disks, and they were sent to the  
recycler.  They were big MFM drives connected to an HP-IB interface.   
(They were probably too heavy to ship to Montreal anyway).

See if you can determine which chip it uses.  Greg McGarry wrote an  
ISA driver for the NEC 7210 GPIB chip (dev/isa/cec.c).

The hp300 port has drivers for the TI9914A (nhpib.c) ... I'm not sure  
which chip fhpib.c supports.

Greg also has MI code for HPIB disks and tapes in sys/dev/gpib ...  
the command set used by HP was called "CS/80".  You should be able to  
obtain the knowledge you need from that code base.
