adressed modern drive of 1.44 meg..? so that was what I was going on.. yes if you can use
1.44 do so.. older new media hard to find...
I am still new to this HP-85 stuff, but I think you are correct about the A model system
not originally handling the 1.44M drive. I think that the upgraded B model ROMs in the
PRM-85 are supposed to let it use the newer drives.
