The company I was with at the time got their 932 back in late 1989 or
early 1990. Later, they upgraded it to a 958 with a board-swap. The one
we had absolutely positively had to have an HPIB LDev 1. That's because
only HPIB devices could be the Boot device. That mean's HPIB Tape Boot
Drive also (but other drives can be SCSI). The consequence of this is
that we had to have two tape drives. Physically, it's the size of a
two-drawer file cabinet. It's rather heavy as well.
