What size floppy disks does the HP 9114B drive use? Is
it 720k or 1.44 meg?
they use 720K floppies
HP 110, Portable PLUS and the IBM PC (using the HP-IL card) use
512 bytes per sector, 9 sectors per track for a formatted capacity of 710K
The Series 40 and 70 use
256 bytes per sector, 16 sectors per track for a formatted capacity of 630K
The lower capacity is due to the fact that the 9114 spares tracks to be
used as replacements for bad sectors on the diskette.
