The HPDrive page states that the 9914 cannot implement
the Amigo Identify
command, as it uses a non-standard sequence (Untalk followed by a secondary
addressed to the device). Yet, I don't understand this claim, as my HP
9134A disc drive uses a 9914A as its HP-IB controller, and it certainly
responds to the Identify command. If the 9914 in a 9134A can implement
Identify, it is not clear to me why a software emulator using a 9914-based
card can't implement Identify as well.
I don't really understand that either, but anyways, I'd be happy with a
[CS]S/80-only version.
