side I get a 'NO DISC' error when I try to format it.
Note that for use on the HP 64000, the 9134A must have been built with
Option 010. That configures the drive as a single 4.8 MB unit. The
standard configuration 9134A appears to the host as four 1.15 MB volumes to
emulate four 9895A floppy drives.
A sticker on the rear of the unit to the right of the serial plate should
show "OPT. 10" if it's a single unit configuration.
(I have one of these and used it successfully on an HP 64000, but it is
sloooow!)
