Yes, you can if you have an expander cabinet.  The reason they say you can't
have both is because the two options listed both use a daughterboard on the
CPU card.  Only room for one, so if you get a SCSI built in you need to get
a separate IO card for fast HPIB.  But we have machines with both SCSI and
HPIB disks doing just fine.
