- How about the 4xxt->715t upgrade program ?
-
- The HP-IB interface on 4xxt series is no more available after
- an upgrade to series 715! The HP-IB is suported only on 715s series
- (through the EISA card) and there's no way to upgrade from a 4xxt to 715s!
-
- We have lots of hp4xxt, used for HP-IB connected test&measurement
- peripherals. How can we take advantage of the new, great, blasting
- (open list, you may add your own here...) machines and preserve
- our investments (didn't you say so, HP?) ?
-
- Is our case unique?
-
- Any proposal from HP?
