*sigh*
I'm probably asking for a miracle but I'm seeking a 7935, preferrably with the HP-IB interface but I'll work with anything.

I can remember only one of these coming up on eBay in the last ten years. If you found one, it would have to be shipped freight.

Weight - 340 lbs.
Heat dissipation - 1400 watts
 
Depends. technically HP-IB enabled devices can support Mass Storage devices as an option. Just cross your fingers that between the two development teams the term "mass storage" was the the same. ;)
 
You do know that there are many, many other HP-IB storage devices that are both smaller and easier to ship, as well as easier to find and less expensive to buy? Also, there's HP-IB storage, and there's HP-IB storage. This drive uses the CS/80 command set, which makes it _more_ likely to work than _less_, but it's still no guarantee.

Don't forget that a Commodore IEEE-488 drive won't "just work" on ANY HP. And vice-versa.

I've never trusted Commodore's IEEE-488 standard adhesion. Hell, even their idea of a serial port is a bit skewed.

I drove to Santa Rosa for a Minitel. Didn't I tell you once before that it's unhealthy to ask WHY I do such irrational adventures? If I was thinking straight I would stick with my 9121. ;)
 
Well, call them up and see if they'll strap it to a pallet. Then set up shipping through FreightQuote. I don't know if crossing a border will be a problem. Know anybody in northwest US who could receive it and sit on it for a while? (if I remember right that you're in Canada)
 
Ok, back in front of a real keyboard now.

For reference, I recently had a pallet of four RL02 drives shipped by truck freight from New York to southern California. It cost about $500. It's annoying when the shipping costs more than the purchase price of the item, but it's not that uncommon in this weird hobby of ours!
