Hi,
I am trying to get my 9825A to exchange programs, data with the
outside world
and I am not making any progress.
The 9825A has a working tape drive, but as I only have Series 80 stuff
here
(which use the same tapes, but different formats), this only allows me
to
save/restore my own stuff.
The 9825A also has an HP-IB interface (thats the only interface I've got
for it), but I have trouble connecting a floppy drive to it as the mass
storage ROM that supports HP-IB drives only works with the 9825T.
Bummer!
I have the System ROM which allows ASCII programs to be"typed"
from an external device, but I would like to be able to
have access to
the program collections available on floppy images (e.g. the files on
the diagnostic tape).
So any ideas - suggestions?
Thanks
