Witch software version do you use ?
When you download the newest version from http://hammycorp.com/hp16500/ or
other sites, and you want to initialize the disks with lifutil keep in mind
you have to set the sector size to 1024 bytes.
The 16500A doesn't read LIF disc witch are initialized at a sector size of
256 bytes.
Lifutil only runs under MSDOS not winxxx.
On disc's 5/6 and 6/6 are the system tests located, you can use that to test
and verify your system.

What happens when you try to boot from the
floppy? I haven't done
that in a while, but remember that it takes a surprisingly
long time.
Have you just tried waiting a few minutes?
Yeah, I gave up and left it while I made a cup of tea last
night -- when I looked at the screen again, it had booted.
So about 6-7 minutes to boot from floppy. Wow. No wonder HP
gave it a hard drive.
