Gordon,

You need a full-height card. I can get you one, are you interested?
Just bear in mind this is a short term solution.

This is how it looks on our 967RX, on your 969 only the path will be
different:

PATH:  8                                      LDEV:
  ID:  HPA1741A                               TYPE: CA
PMGR:  SPECTRUM_CIO_CAM                    PMGRPRI:     6
LMGR:                                       MAXIOS:     0

PATH:  8.0                                    LDEV:
  ID:  HP27113A                               TYPE: DA

LMGR:                                       MAXIOS:     0

PATH:  8.0.0                                  LDEV:    8
  ID:  HP7980A                                TYPE: TAPE

Nope,  I've just been going through this.  If it were a 7980, there is a
SCSI
interface for that.  I'm trying now to get an old half height HP-IB card to
work in my 969, but with no luck.
