I have an HP-85B with I/O ROM, the HP-IB interface
and
an 82901M 5 1/4" flexible disk drive unit (there
are
address switches on the back of the disk drive - now
set to 000)? I want to access the drive from the
85B,
and believe that I have all the necessary parts, but
I
lack the I/O ROM manual which, as I understand it,
describes the extended BASIC commands (such as
CONTROL
x,y;a). So, I have a question:
Once I hook all of this up, how do I access the disk
drive, read from it, save to it and format a
diskette?
Thanks.

I should have also mentioned that I have the Mass
Storage ROM as well, which I assume may also be
necessary.
