Did you try renaming the SCSI interface name to hp82341?
Yes, even made sure the HP was in lower case. My biggest problem seems not to be the Libraries per se, but the wanky computer and it's utter lack of resources. My observations were that before loading the drivers, the computer had sluggish but (barely) tolerable performance. After I load the drivers, I get super erratic behavior and the computer slows to a crawl, and can't even open Chemstation for long, if at all.
Also, I looked at the email that you sent @MSCHemist and I saw that you recommended using the H libraries. I am virtually certain that this old Dell workstation is just not up to the task in terms of CPU/RAM. Depending on the driver library used, the computer behaves slightly different; in all cases worse lol. But, I am now reassured that the H library should be good to go. Thanks for all your help @MSCHemist!
Next step, buy a few clunker Win XP boxes from Ebay, avoiding Dell per Agilent instructions, and maybe avoiding Compaq too....
Here is a tidbit from the Agilent HPIB driver instructions "We are currently NOT able to get a 82341C HPIB card to function with a Compaq DeskPro 6000, 266MHz Pentium-II"
