Hi,
J?rgen Keller recently cracked how to access his 9133XV combined hard drive
and floppy drive unit from his HP-85 - see full article here:
http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/articles.cgi?read=562
I would like to check with other 9133XV owners if their drives also had the
same A/B/C jumper, I suspect this was only present on certain revisions of
the drive.
If it seems to be on all revisions this is excellent news as these drives
often crop up on the second hand market.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
I'm very happy that I have a working connection to my PC. It makes much
more fun if you can feed your HP-85 with some nice programs...
If have no explanation why I could not initialize the drive with my
HP-85. Perhaps, the 86 Mass Storage ROM is more advanced. Anyway, the
main point for me is that it works now. Hopefully it helps others to get
their drives working.

not all 9133XVs have this jumper. Did you want to post a
message on classiccmp cctalk, I know several people there have this drive.
I'm currently not subscribed to cctalk. May I ask you to post the
information? Perhaps it sheds some light on the jumper question.
Have a nice weekend,
Juergen
