IIRC the A uses LIF and the B and C version uses FAT. But little search would provide you
with the downloads for the operating software. Search on the Keysight (Agilent) website.

Onderwerp: Reading HP 16500 Logic analyzer firmware disks
I have a number of 16500 floppy disks I'd like to digitize, and am
wondering what the best way is to image them.
I will probably want to look at them if possible if they are FAT, as
some are, so having a flat image would be nice.
I'll look into the prior postings for software to image them for
reproduction.
I just tried a DD from one attached as an experiment in this way, and
did not get a good result:
Macbook Pro running Mavericks
Vmware Fusion.
Ubuntu 10
Teac USB floppy drive attached thru to the Ubuntu machine.
The floppy drive showed up, but a DD only copied in about 1mb from a
1.44 format disk. Not sure what quirk that was from. It's been a long
time, and even though I follow your discussions here, I'm not sure if
this pile will work.
I have a Linux Laptop and also a windows Laptop (XP) which I'm going to try.
thanks
