I remember trying to hack the HP9114 3.5" HP-IL floppy drive to handle
two drives in a single enclosure back in the day.

Tony,
I still say the 6809 was the best 8 bit micro ever.
No dispute from me on that
point :-)
Though I don't have any 6809 systems here I
still have my 6809/6809E
Microprocessor Programming Manual from 1981.
I still have my CoCos and a Acorn
System with a 6809 CPU board in it.
And of course plenty of them in embedded systems -- mosr HP disk or
tape units contain one. So does my HP1630 logic analyser.
Lately I do more with my PDP-8's then
anything recent like the 6809🙂
Another elegant processor design.
