Yes, you can use the LIF Utiles (released to public domain and posted on

The format on disc is LIF, HP's standard
floppy disc format
back before MSDOS and FAT formatted floppies dominated the
world :-) Ordinary 1.44MB IBM formatted 2HD floppies work
just fine as target discs.
Is it possible to backup LIF disks with non-HP hardware?
I have a 4952C and no diskettes (I also have a couple of
older HP line analyzers with TU-58-style tapes). I'd love
to be able to put some interesting software on my 4852C.
I'd be especially interested in a terminal emulator, as well
as any SNA or bisync (HASP/3780) software for it.
