Yeap. It was probably HP's first 8" floppy disk drive. It used SS disks
and only held about 270k per disk. It used a 16 bit parallel interface.
So does this mean no one has a clue what any of
these are?...
No definite information. Sorry, don't have a lot of time to do
research right now.
Your 02116 board looks like it is made to fit a 21xx of some sort.
9885 is a single 8" floppy drive in a box, and came in two flavors,
9885M being "master" with controller and able to have up to three
9885S "slave" drives connected.
9895 is a box with room for two 8" floppy drives, and I think had an
HP-IB interface so would have an internal floppy-disk controller.
Yeap, the 9895 replaced the 9885. It used DSDD disks and held about 1.4
Mb per disk IIRC and it was HP-IB.
