8 inch disks - help needed identifying format

[Rik Bos]

Hi Denise,

It is a HP disc, probably for the hp 9845/35 series.
H tells you the drive type (9895A), 8 the controller select code, 0 the drive address, 1 the unit address (second disc in a unit, first disc will be 0).
Probably the disc will contain a large fata file of 1188 blocks, may be it’s a database can’t say much more of it. To determine the data itself you need to know the first record of the file,they will tell the kind of data in it.
