Description
HP 09153-66511 HPIB GPIB IEEE-488 Controller Card for HP 9153C ISA Rev B 1988
The HP 09153-66511 is an ISA-bus HP-IB (GPIB / IEEE-488) controller card designed specifically for the HP 9153C disk drive subsystem. It provides the HP Instrument Bus interface that allows an HP computing system to communicate with and control the 9153C over the IEEE-488 parallel instrument bus. The card is built around a Motorola MC68A09EN 6809 processor with onboard SRAM and HP custom logic, and dates from December 1988.

Applications
The HP 9153C is a dual 3.5-inch hard disk drive subsystem produced by Hewlett-Packard in the late 1980s for use with HP 9000 Series workstations and compatible systems. The HP-IB (Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus) — HP's proprietary implementation of the IEEE-488 standard — was the primary instrument and peripheral control bus across HP's computing and test-and-measurement product lines throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s. This controller card sits in an ISA slot of the host computer and manages all HP-IB communication between the CPU and the 9153C disk subsystem, including disk access control and addressing. The 6809-based architecture was common in HP peripheral controllers of this era, providing an onboard intelligence layer for bus protocol handling. This card is a key spare or replacement part for anyone maintaining an HP 9153C disk subsystem connected to a period-correct HP workstation or compatible host.
This HP 09153-66511 HPIB GPIB Controller Card was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in service. It has been visually inspected and photographed. The PCB is clean overall, with normal handling wear expected of a card from this era (manufactured December 1988). No broken traces, cracked components, or obvious physical damage are visible. The bracket and HP-IB connector appear intact and undamaged. Please review all photos and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
