Welcome to NetBSD/hp300.  :)

If it's an HPIB disk, or SCSI, chances are it is.  
(I'm sure Jason will correct me.  :) )

The mailing list, port-hp300@NetBSD.ORG, is described on the port-hp300 web
page under the main netbsd pages on www.netbsd.org.  Look for supported
architectures.

(Just a plug for /hp300...)

(Beware the HP 35401 tape jukebox, for the kernel is confused by it)
