know that, I am reading and writing HP floppies with my PC under Linux
(using libdsk for direct FDC access).
I have written a small utility that reads/writes HP 9122C disk images
(using HP's native track layout, not the normal "PC" HD floppy layout),

You may change the geometry table for other track layouts.
