Hola:
 
     In the same vein as James of CSC, I have a client that wants to go
     from his current 957SX to an I30.  However, he does not want to pay HP
     to throw some pixie dust on the 957 to make it an I30.  Can he just
     pick up an I30 CPU and backplane, swap these two items out and be done
     with it?
 
     He is concerned that his HP-IB devices that he currently runs will no
     longer work, but I figure if he just uses a 28650B HP-IB add-on, this
     should not be a problem.
 
     Also, can anybody recommend a general sales software for the 957?
 
     TIA,
