- Well, the Installing Peripherals section for HP 700 series in the 6/92
- lrom cd says nothing about these modes. So is there somewhere else I
- should look? Is it not documented? Do to inconsistencies in the
- documentation, I had a script try ALL possible minor numbers to the parallel
- port, but no luck. This was probably on 8.05.

- I have been told by HP people that this is a hardware limitation (tell me it
- ain't so!). My HP sales rep gave me the names of a couple of companies
- building EISA cards for the 700's, but so far, no one has a parallel card.

- Still :^( !
