As says 6.5 communicator
(http://docs.hp.com/mpeix/onlinedocs/30216-90291/30216-90291.html),

In order to streamline the development and test of future MPE/iX releases,
the PBA-IB HP-IB Device Adapter (A1747A) and old CIB I/O based HP 3000
Servers will not work with MPE/iX Release 6.5 and later releases.

The PBA-IB HP-IB Device Adapter was discontinued in May 1999 and has an end
of support date of November 1, 2001. The following old CIB I/O (also known
as CIO) based HP 3000 Servers will have completed their end-of-support well
before November 1, 2001:

    the 925/935/949 family
    the 920/922/932/948/958
    the 950/955/960/980 family

HP-IB and the above HP 3000 Servers will continue to be supported through
their end-of-support date on MPE/iX Release 5.5 (which has a projected
end-of-support date of November 1, 2000) and Release 6.0 (which has a
projected end-of-support of November 1, 2001).

So, not only because of HPIB, because of CIB I/O (AKA CIO), those systems
won't work under 6.5

Hope it helps.
