- As long as the HP-IB port has "interrupt on PPOLL response", you will
- experience some minor degradation on serial access to large files, but
- otherwise won't notice much slowdown. All Series 300 and 400 standard-speed
- HP-IB ports have int-on-PPOLL except for the Model 320 built-in and the
- plug-in 98624A (not the 98625A/B).
