As far the hardware goes, yes, you can have both cards in there operating at

Okay so I gave it a try. As it turned out, I had a serial cable that had
both DB-25 and DB-9 heads at both ends. So I thought I'd try using the

easily download text files and run them.
Yeah no.
The prolific cable allows

Interesting. I thought the CT-1024 was sort of the intended companion for the
6800 (It came out first, I think). I wonder what they expected people to do if
they had just those two devices?
I'll probably try cable swap and see how onerous that is. I'm hoping to one
day acquire an AC-30.

They still do, but that part hasn't been called HP for a long time. I figured
when HP split into a test equipment company and an ink company, the outcome was
obvious.

The cable will come with the GPIO, the one you want is the 98032A option
085, but if you cannot find one of them any 98032A could be reconfigured
to support a 9885. Diskettes are going to be a bigger issue, as per
