Hi,

I have a B2000 with HPUX 11.11.

Is it possible to add Firewire (1394) support to this machine,and
connect up an external Firewire hard drive? It's a portable unit I use
to move files back and forth to work.

Thanks,

Jeff

Sorry, no. At least not if You don't write any drivers for it...

Doubtful, unless some 3rd party has done it, and
even then, odds are pretty low that you'd get the
entire food chain: card driver, device driver and
app-level support.

HP had a PCI card (A8084A) for the now-gone IA-64
workstations, but that didn't have HP-UX support
(Linux and Windows only).
