There is *no* need to boot from HPIB first. If it doesn't work on a 320 it's because of the boot rom, not the board itself. It obviously *is* supported on the 340, so I doubt it's an FCC problem. |> |> > |> > Regards, Hewlett-Packard |> > Bob Niland Internet: rjn@FC.HP.COM 3404 East Harmony Road |> > UUCP: [hplabs|hpfcse]!hpfcrjn!rjn Ft Collins CO 80525-9599 |> > ---------- |> |> Regards, |> |> Cliff |> |> Cliff Weisgerber | cliff@hpdmd48.boi.hp.com >Internet |> Hewlett-Packard | hplabs!hpbsla!cliff >UUCP |> Boise Site Information Technology | cliff weisgerber /hp4600/ux >HPDesk |> Distributed Technical Computing | (208)323-2577 >Voice -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jeff Bailey (Sys.
