Unfortunately, not many. Is your's just an 85
or is it an 85B?
It's an 85, not an 85B. I *DO* have the mass storage rom
though.
You can add that ROM to your 85 and use it with
the HP 9121 disk drive.
What about the 9122?
I've only found one of them but I have 20 or so
later
9133s that don't have the option of the switch.
So without the switch can I use
it on the 85 with mass storage rom? If so,
we need to talk trade!
Don't buy HP tapes! They're THE worst
tapes out there. You can go back
and read the CC list archives, there's been lots of discussion about the
HP
tape drives and HP tapes. You can use the old DEC
tapes or the old 40Mb
tapes that were used for PC tape drives. They both work fine. Use the
INITIALIZE command to reformat them on the 85.
Thanks for the tip!! I don't
have too many old DECtapes, but when you say
old 40mb PC tape drive tapes, are you talking QIC-80 tapes? I have tons of
those. If not, exactly what tape do I go buy?
Welcome to the world of HP computers!
*COUGH*
*GAG* *ARGH!!* (clutching my chest) You really know how to hurt an
HP guy *grin*
