Introduction
This chapter contains general information on the Series 3000 disk
subsystem.
Included are introduction, and general description.
The Series 3000 is a family of random access data storage based on
the
latest 5.25" Winchester disk technology.
It provides storage
capacity of 5, 10, 15, 30, and 45 Megabytes (MB). Built-in floppy of
3.5", 5.25" or 8" is optional.
The Series 3000 fully implements the HP-300 Mass Storage Command
Set,
and
connects to the Hewlett-Packard computers via the Hewlett
Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB)*.
This series emulates all
versions of
HP personal mass storage subsystems.
Other features like the multi-port sharing and local backup/restore
are also offered.
Multi -port opti on enabl es di fferent HP computers
sharing the same disk subsystem.
Each HP computer communicates through
its
own HP-IB port, and the Bering disk subsystem assumes the
multiplexing control. Loca'i function provides a means of backing-up and
restoring the Winchester disk using a number of diskettes.
In addition to this manual, users are urged to consult the related
HP documentation on mass storage techniques supplied with your computer
systems.
*HP-IB is Hewlett Packard's implementation of the IEEE Standard 488-1978
